Description of service
Once upon a time, the saturday before mothers day, My 2004 Nissan Sentra wouldn't start. Turn the key, nothing. Swear. Turn the key, nothing, swear. It (the Sentra) was at my ex-girlfriend's place of work, but dead in the water around 11:00 PM. Needless to say, I wasn’t going to see Mom for Mother’s Day. Luckily, there was a Nissan dealer right up the way. So, a two-block walk (the next day, Sunday, Mother’s Day), and I explained what was going on, and they sent a mechanic back with me, and they hooked some large yellow game boy-looking device to the OBD-II port on the car, and he started playing Tetris, so to speak.
It turns out my transponder in the ignition was dead. Kaput. For an outrageous (if you ask me) sum of $200.00, he went back to the dealership, and disemboweled my ride for about forty-five minutes, and installed the new transponder, hooked the game boy back up, (to make the Sentra speak to my key), and after putting it back together, the Nissan roared to life once I gave it a little key.
Review of Service
Well, the service itself was great, the mechanic's service was quick, and he walked the two blocks out to my car, lugging his game boy. The price? C'mon. Those transponders do not even add to the security of your car - they let a Nissan dealer extort two hundred bucks out of you when they (the transponders) decide to go on vacation.
Tips
What tip can I offer? Try to make sure your transponder chips die within two blocks of a Nissan Dealer.
