Depending on the vintage of your instrument, the valves may already be vented (look for a small hole in the side of the casing). Sometimes these get plugged up with gunk and all that's needed is the end of a paperclip to clean the hole out.

Otherwise, any decent repair tech armed with a small drill and sufficient common sense not to let the filings foul things up should be able to perform the modification for less than an hour's shop rate. It ain't rocket science.
