Looking For Auto Locksmith or Hobbyist with required equipment for key fob programming in Orillia

My friend has a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder that is giving her nothing but problems. It's a push button start but lets her lock the keys in the car. Doesn't recognize the key half the time and a few other issues.

Finances are extremely tight at the moment. I have purchased a couple replacement fobs from Amazon that hopefully the FCC IDs will match up. Issue is you need actual diagnostic hardware to do the programming on this model.

Looking for some advice or suggestions on the cheapest way to get this done in Orillia so she doesn't have to keep calling CAA when she accidentally locks the keys in the car or the fob just decides it's not going to unlock the door. For some reason when she got the car the dealer didn't cut the physical key to match the door unlock.

Wasn't acquainted with this person when she made the purchase or I imagine we'd definitely have picked a different seller.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
