Need some help with door locks on wifes car.

So someone broke into my wife's car last night, its an 04 Cavalier with power locks.

Anyways, they broke in by jamming a scredriver or something in the door lock and then prying down...

The doors still lock fine, but the tumbler on the door is ****ed and needs replacing.

Does anyone know, if i go to a wrecker and get a new one, can i get it re-keyed to match the original key? Can i do it myself?

Either way, people ****ing suck and i hope the SOB dies.

Call a lock smith. They should be able to rekey a lock as long as the car doesn't have a new fancy key which I doubt with a Cavalier. It will probably cost about $50-$70.

Thanks, I was hoping it wouldn't be a big issue. People are such a holes sometimes.

Take the locksmith an extra door key and the lock assembly from the J/Y. I had this done once with a Honda, took a couple days and about $80~.
