It's weird though. Most shops charge $20 to true a wheel. Maybe they just don't think it's worth the work for the $20 if it needs more than a few twists of a spoke wrench?
Seriously, buy a $5 spoke wrench and do it yourself. It is not that hard (this sounds like a rather simple case) and there are plenty of good guides to the procedure on the internet. It'll probably save you time compared to dealing with all these (apparently incompetent) shops.
