Any shop that trues a clincher rim with tires on is a shop you should NEVER frequent again.

Also a properly built wheel with even spoke tension with appropriate spoke and rim selections for the context and use, that has not been abused, nor has it been damaged (pothole, curb riser, leaning bike against wheel) should really NEVER need a truing. Obviously this only applies to road bikes. Mountain biking by definition is abusing the wheelset. 😀
