Question Ignition Question

Hey everyone,
So I've got a bit of a problem here. I have lots the keys to my car, I have no idea where they are. I only had the one key and in my stupidity didn't get another one soon enough. Does anyone know whether theres someway to get another key? Or do I need to get a new ignition switch? If I need a new ignition switch, which parts do I need to replace for everything to work? Is it a real big job? Very expensive?
Thanks everyone!

I believe a locksmith can make a new key,but that would be pretty expensive.

A good locksmith can easily make you a key cheap, if you do some work. Pull your door panel and remove the clip that holds your door tumbler in the door. Then take the door lock to any good locksmith and have him make you a key. He can disassemble the tumbler mechanism and see what the numbers are on each piece. Then he simply cuts a key to those numbers and reassembles the door lock.
Have him make you a couple extras. I had to do this for a car about 6-7 yrs. ago and my local locksmith charged me $10, plus $1.50 per key.
