How much is the cost to fix a car immobilizer?

My Nissan has been having trouble with its door locks. I’m wondering if it’s a problem with the immobilizer. How much will it cost to fix a car immobilizer?

Our sympathies—misbehaving locks are a major hassle! Since you’re having trouble, you’re right in thinking it could be your
Nissan’s
immobilizer.
The average cost to fix a car immobilizer is around $300, including parts and labor. That said, the actual figure will depend on your car, what needs fixing, and which shop you choose to handle the repairs.
If your doors won’t lock and unlock, it could simply be an issue with your key fob needing a battery replacement, which is an easy and inexpensive fix. But if it is the immobilizer, it could eventually cause the alarm system (and engine) to stop working. You’ll want to book an appointment ASAP to catch the problem before it gets worse.
