370GT V36 Key FOB Programmed and Key Cut in Sydney, Reasonable price, WORKED! brilliant! Cant recommend enough

[Vee37]

Quick Version: I just lost my one and ONLY key FOB for my 2008 370GT Coupe, at Westfields Bondi Junction, in East Sydney (a little more complex, but that's the gist). I called a heap of Car Locksmiths (not expecting any success after reading threads here on SAU. I truly thought I was done for). I called one guy (not the first), and he gave me the Phone number of another guy, and that guy (Jackson of OnTime LOCKSMITHS):

1. Said he could do it.
2. Would be at my location in the hour (Not my home)
3. Quoted me a price over the phone, which I personally was actually a little shocked how reasonable it was. People talk about not having the original key, but that made no difference.
4. Kept me updated via SMS on his travels/arrival (ie didn't leave me hanging wondering if he was going to get there or not. Very professional)
5. Made it to me within the hour, as had promised. I think he was actually at another job or engaged in something else (it was a Saturday), because in his SMS updates, I dont think he started heading to me, as soon as our call ended; but he made it to me well on time, as promised.
6. Pulled out his ODBII computer box, plugged it into my ODBII port, downloaded the software specific for the car, then followed the instructions on the computer screen inserting, extracting the key turning it to acc, start, rinse & repeat,  etc etc etc
7. Tested the FOB, AND IT WORKED!!!
8. Cut the key in the back of his van using an automated key cutter.
9. He then charged me exactly what he quoted me, and took payment VIA CC on the spot.

I had asked him soon after he arrived, how much extra it would be to get a spare done at the same time, and I was a little surprised when he told me the price that I was quoted already included a spare. ie 2 key fobs.

I cannot recommend this guy enough. I called about 5 places this morning, that could not do it, and one guy that actually hung-up on me while I was trying to explain to him that my car was parked way too far to meet him at the entrance of the shopping mall car park, when I was parked directly in-front of very specific elevators; ie dead easy to find.

When I purchased  my car at the start of the year, I got a single FOB with the car. I called about 10+ places back then, who either never called my back or did not respond to my email. And my regular mechanics quoted me almost twice the price i just now paid, and that was for a single FOB.

I have not included the price, as it may change over time, or because of the different situation you may specifically in. But I am guessing mine was the second worst case scenario, and I was more than happy with the price. The only bonus was that I think was physically close to where he was located. I was also a little "lucky" that I actually only lost half my FOB (the circuit board), and still had the physical key, which I could use to prove to the locksmith, that it was my car , and not something I scoped sitting in the parking lot. The only negtatigve thing is that the FOB is a four button fob, so it has one button that does nothing. And it does not have the Nissan Logo on it.

I would like you to mention the referral as the black 2008 370GT at Wetsfields BJ shopping car-park. Not because I get any kick-backs, but just to let this guy know just how grateful I am on how painless (and reasonably priced) he made this for me. And again, he gave me a firm price over the phone. It is definitely worth a call if you only have a single FOB (which is also cheaper than the two I got) or even just to keep his number in-case you ever get stuck somewhere FOB'less.

 

And here is the FOB & Blurred key.

WHOOP! In the text I said 350GT which is incorrect. It was a 370GT, as the title states. I'll see if the mods can edit and corect it. But I am sure a 350GT would be even simpler for this guy.
