Without knowing what codes your car had how would we have a clue as to what is the cause of the NO START??? Many possibilites, bad starter, battery that fails a load test (surface charge but not enough reserve to operate the starter), Security ( resistor on the key) issue, ignition switch failure and others..........

Try pulling the codes again after you try to start the car and post what you find. Post the 5 character code as well as the H, C or HC suffix.
