I just got a $375 quote (unpainted) for a replacement fork from Waterford. (I'm brokering a repaint for a friend and we thought we had found that the headset stack height was 30mm, after we had sent the frame and fork off to them. Since I don't build for others we had considered Waterford building a new fork. Turns out the stack is 35mm and replacement HS options have opened up a lot).
If I were to align a fork already out of the frame i'd expect no more then $50 labor.
Shops that have experience and motivation might be able to do the aligning too, but far more claim such then actually have the skill. Good luck. Andy.
