For that money, it's probably a full tune, where they go through the rest of the bike as well, adjust shifting front and rear, check brake tension, bearing adjustment at the headset and hubs, true wheels, and check things over in general. For just a quick FD adjustment like you describe where we'd need to adjust height and limit screws, our shop would charge $20, and for $30 we'd do front and rear adjustment regardless of current tune.
