1997 Toyota Corolla

Due to numerous break in attempts into my Corolla, the only way I can get into my car is through the passenger door. My key can no longer unlock the trunk, and there is a broken key in the driver door lock which I can't pull out. A mechanic told me I need to take it to a locksmith, the locksmith says take it to a mechanic. Is there a way to fix it without having to change all the locks? And if I do have to change all the locks who do I go to and how much do you think that would run me? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Take the locks out of the doors (mark them so you don't mix them up) and take to locksmith and have repaired.
Cost depends on if the tumblers or cylinders are damaged.
You will have to remove the interior door panels to get to the locks.
