Nissan Sentra Key Replacement By Key Type
About 2000–2019 | Chip key
Many keyed Nissan Sentra versions from this approximate era use a chip key. That means the replacement needs to work as a physical key and be recognized by the vehicle; a plain cut key may not be enough.
Many newer trims | Push-to-start smart key
Some newer Sentra trims use a push-to-start smart key instead of a conventional ignition key. The key style depends on the vehicle’s setup, so the model year alone may not identify which replacement you need.

Bought a Used Sentra With Just One Key?
Get a spare made while your remaining key still works. If it is lost or damaged, you may have no working key to use while arranging a replacement. Tell us the Sentra’s year, whether it starts with a key or a button, and that you have only one key; those details help identify the key type before we come to you. For a broader look at Nissan key replacement, see our Nissan service page. Car key replacement starts at $110.

How Sentra Trim Changes Affect the Key
Sentra with a keyed ignition
A Sentra that starts with a key uses a physical key, and many versions from about 2000–2019 also use a chip. Tell us whether you have a working key so we can distinguish a spare-key request from a complete loss.
Sentra with push-to-start
Some newer trims use a smart key for push-to-start rather than a conventional ignition key. When you contact us, mention the start button and whether the remote still locks or unlocks the doors; that helps clarify whether you need a key replacement or key fob programming.
Sentra sedan
The Sentra’s sedan body does not by itself identify the key system. Sentras from different years and trims can use different key types, so share the year and ignition style instead of relying on the body shape to choose a replacement.
One Working Sentra Key or No Keys at All?
You still have one working key
A working key gives us a way to identify the current setup and make a spare before you are left without access. Tell us whether the key starts the car and whether its remote buttons work; those details help separate a key issue from a remote issue. Ask about a Versa key only if you also need service for that model.
Every Sentra key is gone
We make a new car key on site when all keys are lost. Share the Sentra’s year and whether it has a keyed ignition or push-to-start when you call; the key type affects what replacement is needed. If you are locked out as well, our car lockout service addresses entry to the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
Can you make a Nissan Sentra key if I have no original?
Yes. We make a new car key on site when all keys are lost, so an original key is not required to request service. Tell us the Sentra’s year and whether it uses a key or push-to-start when you call.
Why did my Nissan Sentra key fob stop working after I changed the battery?
A new battery may not resolve a remote that still will not respond. We can check the fob and provide key fob repair or programming; tell us whether the car starts and whether any buttons still work.
Can you help if I’m stuck away from home in my Sentra?
Yes, we provide mobile locksmith service and come to your location. Inside San Luis Obispo, typical arrival is within 15 minutes; towns farther out get the next free locksmith.
How long does Nissan Sentra key fob replacement take at the car?
The work time depends on whether your Sentra uses a chip key or a push-to-start smart key and whether you still have a working key. Our typical arrival time within San Luis Obispo is within 15 minutes; that is travel time, not a stated completion time.
