The lock on my drivers side car door is broken (I bought the car used and the lock was badly damaged). The door locks, but it can't be unlocked from the outside. On the passenger side, the lock is a bit rusty (but it locks/unlocks from the outside). I tried to call a locksmith, but they said that they don't deal with car locks and couldn't give me an estimate. Does anyone know who fixes these kinds of things (and perhaps an estimate)?

ask people you know for a reputable repair shop. any shop can do it. it's a minor repair. depending on what kind of car it is I'm not sure how much it will cost.

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

If it's an older car, it's not worth paying that much to fix it. Just leave it unlocked with nothing of value inside.
If it's a fairly new car, the dealer can fix it, but you'll pay $500 or so.

Find a reputable body shop in your area... That is a repair that they can easily handle.
