Hi, I'm having an issue suddenly with my key not opening the driver's side door on my 2005 Civic. It worked fine prior to going in to the body shop for repairs - the quarter panel on the driver's side was replaced, and they also painted the driver's side door to blend with the new panel. The key is working perfectly fine to open the passenger side door and the keyless entry is working perfectly fine for unlocking all the doors. Being that the key opened my driver's door with no problems what so ever prior to bringing it in for body work/repairs, is this an issue I should be taking up with the body shop? Seems to be too much of a coincidence...or maybe not? Any feedback or suggestions would be much appreciated! :) Thank you kindly.

Definately bring it back to the body shop. They probably left a linkage off.
