Lost Keys
If you've lost your car keys the first thing you should do is search the spot where you normally keep them. Some keys "drift" from their usual place and end up on a floor or beneath something. It is vital not to give up too easily particularly if the area has been searched multiple times. If you've done all this and still aren't able to locate your keys, call a locksmith in your area for assistance. Using a locksmith is often cheaper than visiting the dealership to purchase replacement car keys. The locksmith will need details about your vehicle like its VIN or key code number. This information will allow the locksmith identify your vehicle and provide you with the right key to start it.
Broken Keys
The feeling of helplessness and fear are likely to hit you when a broken key enters your lock. But before you give up you can take a deep breath and be aware that it's possible to recover your broken key. If you're lucky enough, there might still some of the broken piece that you can reach it with a pair of needle nose pliers. If not, tweezers will work just as well (just be careful not to accidentally push the broken edge deeper into the lock).
One great trick is to use a container of WD-40(r) Smart Straw with the smart nozzle, and spray directly through the keyhole to grease it. This will allow the damaged piece to slide out and also break any binds that are hindering it from moving. Try moving it up and down or in and out, to break it free of whatever is causing it to be stuck.
There are other options that people have tried, including using a paperclip to hold the broken piece from both sides and leverage it out. You could also try using a drill bit. Just make sure to drill the hole in the exposed side of the broken key, not the lock.

Often, what appears to be a serious hardware problem is actually just some dust or grit under the key that prevents it from working properly. Most times, you can solve the issue yourself without having to buy replacement parts. You'll require a plastic prying tool (a credit card is ideal, but a flathead screwsdriver can be used in a pinch) and a container that you can use to keep the pieces you need to take them off.
Additionally, you will require a spudger for removing stubborn dirt and grime from the key's grooves and a Q tip to clean the pad. If you are able to remove the key and other internal parts be sure to record their locations so that you can rebuild them properly later on.
If the key is broken in the ignition or the fob, a professional automotive lock will have to recover it for you.
