Ask the LBS who won't thread a threadless fork. The dies to cut a fork from scratch are different than the ones most shops have (Park) which are more meant to chase threads. They will probably charge more than you think. Like $10-$20 per inch. This is all assuming that the fork and headset are 1 inch and not 1 1/8th.
