Varies by area, season, type of shop, and the relationship. If the OP has a relationship with a "blue collar" shop, they'll probably look, advise, or maybe give it a go for a couple of beers (this time of year). Certainly a co-op would. Whn I was in retail we often helped regulars out with Hail Mary stuff like this at no charge.
Without a relationship, allthe OP is likely to get is "it's stripped, you need a new fork"
