mine is a 98 A6 quattro, my glove comparment does not open, when i insert the key in, it turns but just won't open. the dealer said that i need to replace the whole comparment which cost $500, but a local locksmith said that I just need to order the lock and the hook and he can replace for me. what should i do?

 

The locksmith is right.

 

does anyone know how much it will cost?
