Hey I posted this in the mechanics forum but I didn't get an answer, so what do you all think?

So I picked up a CL bike today. There was a little play in the headset (or so I thought) and when I took things apart to inspect, I noticed the steerer is bent. Noticed it right away too, so it's pretty cock-eyed. Is it a must that I replace the fork, or can a shop align this for me? It's a RockShox Dart1. Cheep I know, but I would rather not replace if it isn't necessary. Thanks for the help.

This will be a commuter and a bike that my girlfriend will ride (hopefully). I can see myself using it from time to time as well, so my gut is telling me to find a cheap replacement fork. FYI, its a GF Wahoo disc.
