Default Immobilizer System Won't Let Car Start

I have a Honda Civic DX 2005. It won't start. It doesn't make any noise at all when I try to start it up and the immobilizer system light flashes after I try to turn on the car. So I think my key is so worn out that it's not recognizing it. Should I take it to a dealer? Or is this something any old mechanic or even a locksmith can help me out with? Thanks.

You'll have to take it to the dealer to take care of the immobilizer system. That's not something a corner shop will have the programming for.

Is this a manual transmission? If it is, it may be the switch that lets the computer know you're pressing the clutch.

No, it's an automatic. Thanks for the reply.
