Where to go to fix a trunk lock?

Need some advice..

It seems my trunk lock is stuck and will no longer work with any of my keys.

Luckily the trunk release button on the driver side door still works.

Now who would I take this to to get fixed??
A lock smith? A regular mechanic? OR..(I hope not) a dealer?

Thanks all..

Did it used to work or is it that it's not keyed like the rest of the car?

I had that problem with my old Blazer. I had a locksmith fix it. I don't remember how much it was, but I think it was pretty cheap.

if you have the valet key it wont unlock the trunk, make sure you have the master key.

I had mine rekeyed, but if it used to work it seems likely that there's some other problem
