Is it the key or the ignition?
Try a spare key. If the spare works, the original key is worn and a new key may be all you need. If neither works, the ignition cylinder is the likely cause.
Safety first
Do not force a stuck key or use pliers; it can snap the key or damage the column. Turn the steering wheel gently while turning the key; a locked steering column is a common cause of a key that will not turn.
Ignition change for any vehicle starts at $100.00, and the final price depends on the vehicle. See the price list.
