How much do you think it would cost to have my bike professionally fit at a bike shop from which I did not purchase the bike?

I have an '05 Trek 520 with the standard Shimano 105 crankset (52/42/30). I have loaded up my rear panniers with bricks to 50lbs (23kg) and road a bunch of hills on a 20 mile ride. I didn't seem to...
