My driver side door is stuck shut, wont open with key or from inside. Passenger side handle is broken on outside, and driver side lock on inside is missing. Can't lock the car, and i have to climb in from the back door to get in. Where the heck can i get this fixed, and does anyone know if it is expensive.

Any mechanic or body shop can fix it. As I do not know the exact parts that are broken, or what kind of vehicle it is, I can't give you an exact price. If it is an older car, you should be able to fix the driver's side lock under $100.

Use graphite it is made for just that it is a powder. It can not freeze and all you do is just squeeze it in to the key hole and then work it a bit. Now also take wd40 and put the little red tube on the nozzle. Role up the window and slide the red tube down the outside of the window between the glass and the rubber making sure to get it by both pieces of rubber. Spray toward the door latch then repeat on the inside of the window then let it set for a day. Then start working the in side electric door lock back a forth or the key or the inside manual lock it might take a bit but it will work. Also put some grease on the door latch mechanism. Good luck

The dealer would have the right parts and tools and expertise for your particular car, the downside being they tend to be more expensive. Any mechanic or body shop may be able to do it, and for less, the downside being they're not likely to have the parts in stock and it will take longer. No idea as far as price, it would be the cost of the parts replaced, plus the labor rate multiplied by the time taken for the job.

Shop labor rates and reputation of independant shops near you to reduce the cost.
The drivers door may get real expensive to fix if the latch is jambed completely. I had to cut a door apart once to fix one.

Find our what brand of car you have, and then take it to a dealer shop, they will be able to fix it really fast, and you will know they are good mechanics, cause they work at a dealer.
