Default PLease Help, Someone broke into my GS

I had it parked on a street in NYC and looks like someone musta tried to tamper with the passenger door lock on the car and is now broken...How do I go about replacing the lock. Nothing else (door handle, inside lock) is broken so it would just be a door lock in the key hole and matching it to the key.

How should I go about getting this fixed...Thanks.

sorry to hear that man... this sux... a new lock and the door handle will probably solve the problem. now i don't know how you can do it so it still uses the original key?

Call your dealership first, if they can't help then call a locksmith that deals with high end cars, find out if he has the key and lock codes for your car, if yes that should save you some money, if not he will have to remove your old lock and get the code and make one, unless you diy you will have to pay someone to r&r door panel, door handle and lock assembly, sorry to hear this, just last night at a bb game two cars were broken into, one right next to me and after smashing a window all that was taken was one of the headrest moniters, stupid.

Thanks for the advice guys...The dealer said 97 bucks for the lock cylinder and about 2 hours labor. The funny thing is, this probably happened a very long time ago and I just realized it now since I always use my keyless entry...Thanks guys.
