2013 Nissan Quest
Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

Q: How do I know you are not a scam locksmith?

Scam locksmiths follow a pattern: low quote on the phone, price jumps once you're standing in a parking lot at night with no other options. Ask any locksmith you're considering a few direct questions before they show up. Can they tell you what fob your 2013 Quest uses? Do they carry it? Can they give you a real estimate before arriving? A legitimate tech who works on Nissan Intelligent Key systems knows the answers before they start driving.

Q: Will the replacement key work exactly like my original?

Yes. When a replacement fob is properly registered to your 2013 Quest, it communicates with the vehicle security system the same way the factory fob does. Push-button start responds, door lock and unlock work, and the proximity detection functions as it should. We test every button and every function on the spot before the job is called done. You watch it work before we leave. That's not a courtesy, it's the job.

Q: I lost all the keys to my 2013 Quest. Can a new fob still be made, or does the car have to go to the dealer?

All-keys-lost on a 2013 Quest is a job we handle on site. It does require diagnostic equipment to clear the vehicle security system's memory and register new fobs fresh, and there's a timed sequence built into the process that can't be skipped. Plan for the job to take somewhere in the range of 45 minutes to an hour depending on how the system responds. One thing to know: the Quest fob also has a mechanical insert key inside it.

Q: The push-button start on my Quest is slow to respond or sometimes takes two or three presses. Is the fob failing?

Not necessarily. Sluggish start-button response on the 2013 Quest gets blamed on the fob a lot, but there are a few other things to check first. A low 12-volt battery under the hood can degrade the antenna communication enough to cause exactly this symptom. A CR2032 that's been in the fob for a few years but isn't completely dead yet can also cause inconsistent reads. Try a fresh battery first and see if the response tightens up.

2013 Nissan Quest Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Saturday night in Downtown Ventura. A group came out of a Korean BBQ spot to find their 2013 Quest sitting there completely unresponsive.

Push-button start was dead. The fob wasn't being recognized at all. They had no idea the fob had a mechanical insert key inside it, so the idea of getting into the car manually hadn't even come up yet. They figured the whole thing was done until Monday and called me half expecting to hear the same thing.

I was fifteen minutes out and already had the right fob for this vehicle stocked in the van. Didn't need to order anything.

When I got there, they'd been standing in the parking lot for about forty minutes. The fob battery was completely flat. Swapped in a fresh CR2032, walked them through the backup start procedure where you hold the fob directly to the start button, and the car fired right up. While it was running I tested all six buttons, walked both sliding doors, and confirmed the push-button start was reading the fob from normal distance. Everything was working the way it should.

I also checked the 12-volt while I was there because a dead fob battery on top of a weak main battery is a combination that comes back around. It was fine.

They drove home that Saturday night. The dealer would have had them towing it in Monday morning and waiting on scheduling. When I'm already stocked for the vehicle, a Saturday night call at ten gets the same result as a Tuesday morning appointment.

Nissan Quest Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

Are you licensed and insured to work on Nissan vehicles?▼

Yes. EZ Car Keyz holds a California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services locksmith license and carries full insurance. For a 2013 Quest specifically, programming a replacement Intelligent Key fob requires professional diagnostic equipment connected through the OBD port to register the new fob with the vehicle security system. Not every locksmith carries the tooling for this, and some will tell you it's dealer-only work because they genuinely can't do it.
