Mercedes Benz Other Mechanic Problem

My car is a C230. The ignition switch does not turn when you put the key inside why? The car is with the mechanic in the garage. if I get another mechanic from outside how long will he take to fix this ? (approximately)

Probably the ignition key barrel has failed it will be a 2 Hr or so job to get a new barrel fitted, i would check this first.
