Opening a lock with a tennis ball (or any other practical source of compressed air) does not work. Understanding the mechanics of how the locks work, it's pretty obvious it wouldn't work, but to further prove it, MythBusters tried.

This video is true, see the dent on the door!
It might depend on the make/model. I have better ways, but it's a trade secret.
Many years ago, we used high pressure water from the car wash to trigger the mechanical slot into giving another free cycle.
Find the best price for a duplicate key @ a local hardware store that can do encrypted keys.

The dent is on the door before they start the video (which could be from multiple takes). Notice they point out the car has remote keyless entry, how hard would it be for someone else to be standing outside of camera view to press the unlock button? The door locks do not work by being pressed, they work by rotating a lever. There is no physical way that forcing air in to the lock from a tennis ball is going to turn the mechanism, even if it were able to align the tumblers. It's just not going to happen.

You'll get a better answer to this question by calling a local locksmith than you will by asking the question here. Prices, skills, and capabilities vary quite a bit from one locksmith to the next. Also, the year, make, and model of the vehicle in question will also have an impact on the answer.
