You can buy the ignition lock at any parts store and then any auto shop can replace. Then shop around your local auto repair shops for a price. You do not need a locksmith for job. You should be able to get it replaced for about an hours worth a labor.

Are you sure it's the lock cylinder and not a worn key? If you have another key, see if it works any better. Otherwise, the only thing you'd need a locksmith for would be to rekey the new lock to use the old key. Is this just a lock cylinder or do you hage a chip key?
