2006 Chevy Equinox 39,000 miles

My key is getting stuck in my ignition, the mechanic cleaned and lubed it up. It worked good for a day but now its not working again. I can take the key out of the ignition while the car is running. Thats never a good sign! One mechanic told me the tumbler and key needs to be changed and also would have to reprogram the car. That is looking costly. another mechanic told me he may just be able to change the tumbler and the springs and just recode the peices. I need help, who is telling the truth???

from the sound of it they are bothing telling the truth, the one said he MIGHT be able to do it with recoding the pieces, I doubt it though. most likely the lock cylinder and key will need replaced and reprogrammed.
