How much does it cost to fix my toyota camry?

I have an ignition problem with my 94 camry LE. I can't turn my key in the ignition, thus it won't work. If you could tell me how to fix it, or if I need professional help I would be most grateful. Thanks.How much does it cost to fix my toyota camry?the ignition cylinder lock costs about 20-50 dollars for a new one, now it is a bit hard to do if you don't work much on cars so i would suggest a mechanic do the work for you and it would take about 1-2 hour of labor so if labor is at 50 dollars then you are looking at around 120-150 total in parts and labor combined.



also it is stongly recomended that before you instal the new ignition lock cylinder you should take it to a locksmith and have them make your new ignition cylinder fit your original key so you keep using the original key for the door/trunk and ignition. if you want to skip that step it will be more like an american car set up when you have one key for doors and trunk and another for ignition only....gets confusing if both keys look a likeHow much does it cost to fix my toyota camry?
Pretty common problem on these 'split wafer' locks. They fail with just a little wear from the key.

1. Get a good key made by locksmith or dealer (not a hardware store). It may turn and then you can remove ignition fairly easily and I would have a locksmith remove the 4 little split wafers from the lock so it never happens again.

2 If a new key doesnt turn it, a locksmith can replace just the lock cylinder as opposed to the whole lock assembly.How much does it cost to fix my toyota camry?my 92 4runner had the same problem,... so, what i did was put the key in, and make it move back and fourth (from acc to ignition) as you would normally try to start your car, many times. for me, it took about 5 seconds to get it unlocked good luck!How much does it cost to fix my toyota camry?
Cross your fingers and jiggle the wheel firmly while you try to turn the key. If that doesn't do it then you're stuck with the lock cylinder answer.How much does it cost to fix my toyota camry?Well, mister "poop hole" what you DO is call a locksmith, who will come over and repair it for you.
