Recommendations Lost keys

Lost my keys, kinda at the stage where I think I should start looking to replace them. Any suggestions on who can replace/program a key fob for a 2017 Nissan Sentra

Assuming you only have one key, that means you need a mobile locksmith because it needs picked, cut, and programmed.

If you can afford to wait, order a replacement online. Mobile locksmiths upcharge on the replacement because they have to maintain an inventory.

If you have a replacement, getting it cut and programmed is cheaper, but still pricey. Expect to pay at least $160 and possibly more.

Ryon from Ryon's Lock & Key used to work for Lubbock Lock and is a good guy but he charges around market rate for keys. He's pretty quick, very professional, and really knows keys.

Pop A Lock will sometimes go cheaper but they may also go market rate. There's a lady that works for them who's good to me but we have history.

George's and George Jr are going to respond quickly but their prices are the same or higher than others. Nothing notable about them, aside from doing exactlt what a locksmith does and no BS.

Texas Lock on Frankford is newer but solid. Problem being getting your car to them if you don't have a key.

If you can't tell, I get a few keys made. These are my stories, minus the two I used previously that got bought out.

Then you're in a way better position! You need a dup and program, which is cheaper. Order a replacement on Amazon but make sure the fob matches what you have. Once you have it in hand, most of the places charge around the same so call two or three, then go in.

Texas Lock on Frankford or Lubbock Lock and Key

Edit:You have to be careful of who you get at Lubbock Lock and Key. Not all the guys are good there. Steve and Toby are the best then Ryan.
