You need to tell them EXACTLY what you KNOW, not necessarily what you THINK. If there is a flat spot on the rim or if the rim is actually bent out of shape, then trying to "true" it is a waste of time and money.

If you have never done a true or spoke balance on a spoked wheel, you won't understand but $150 is not too much to pay for a good job. It may take more than an hour and a good deal of skill is required to do it right.
