Oviously they would not do any thing, just  bring it to the garage and put it for hour lifted , work on other cars and after an hour give it to you in working condition.e
Mostly in civic 2006 either you have PCM or  ECU , you have to locate it and push is for couple second which will reset the computer chips and restarts the car or it may be as syanjali said , jsut underneath the steering wheel there may be a tiny switch you have to push up or down.
It is called f u c k ed up by new Technology and it must have some instruction in the manual how to reset it.

Unfortunately, there is no way to deactivate that immobilizer. You have to have the key with the integrated transponder that was programmed to the ECU computer on your specific car or the ECU will not permit you to start it. If you lose the key, you have to go to the dealer to get a transponder key programmed to your specific car. It's about $300. Lots of places advertise systems they claim allow you to by pass the immobilizer, but they do not work.
But it is not true, if you know which one is ECU, you push in will reset it in eyeblink.  from Edmond.com

Someonesuggested this.

So, I dont warranted if this process work...
Here is a better understanding of how a immobilizer works; each key has a code imprinted on it, no battery of any type just a random code. When you go to start the car the immobilizer computer sends a signal to the key. If the signal it receives back from the key matches one of the 5 keys it keeps in its memory, it sends a "OK start" message to the PCM starting the car. If it doesn't see the "OK start" signal it doesn't start and the green key light in the dash flashes. In short there is no way to reset it.

Try another key. If not, there is a way to bypass it shortly to get the car to a Honda dealership for reprogramming of a key or key replacement. Your Prelude may also have a problem with one of these components. It will need to be hooked up to a Honda scan tool and checked for immobilizer codes.Let me know if you have any questions. I'm a 6 year factory Honda tec.

I will try and answer all I can.Here is how to use the "pcm brake code" You weill need to call your local dealership and give them you vin # to get the code.To start the engine, follow this procedure:
1. Cut a temporary key using the key code and anon-transponder key blank.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II) with thetemporary key.
3. Enter the first digit of the immobilizer brake codeby pressing and releasing the e-brake pedal the samenumber of times as the digit. For example, if thefirst digit is 4, press and release the e-brake pedal 4 times.
4. Turn the ignition switch to Lock (0) and then backON (II).
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to enter the second, third,fourth, and fifth digits of the code. You have up to30 seconds to enter each digit.
6. After you enter the fifth digit, the immobilizerindicator on the dash will blink five times,meaning you can now start the engine with thetemporary key.While the engine is running, the immobilizerindicator will stay on. If the engine isn't started with in 10 minutes, you'll have to reenter theimmobilizer brake code. You'll also have to reenterthe code if the engine is shut off for more than 10 minutes.This also workes for any Honda immobilizer system. However you need to use the brake pedal. Only preludes you used the e-brake.
