How much does it cost to replace a push-to-start key fob?
Replacing and programming a push-to-start smart key in Nashville typically runs $190–$420, depending on the vehicle. A mobile locksmith programs it at your car, so there’s no tow or multi-day wait at a dealer. If the car says “key not detected,” try a new fob battery first.

Lost my 2015 Honda civic key fob, they had Mina out within the hour and he programmed a new key fob for me. Affordable and fast y'all the best!
★★★★★
Mina was extremely professional and quick with the additional key. The price was extremely low than the Nissan dealer. I will definitely recommend his services for all types of vehicles keys.
Is a dead fob battery the problem?
Often. If the car starts with the fob held to the button, replace the battery.
Can you use a used or online fob?
Sometimes. Many used fobs are locked to their original car. We check before you pay for programming.
What if I lost every fob?
We can still make a new one at the car. See lost car keys.
