The very end of my car key got stuck in the ignition and i can get it out. On forums and stuff its said to use boby pins, Thin hacksaw blades, paperclips, thin drillbits ect but nothing has worked. But when i put the other half of the key in and turn the ignition the car starts fine so Ive been driving my car for like 1 month with half a key. What should i do.The locksmith said to fix it, it will cost $110.
