Around here, we get $45 per wheel plus or minus.

That's gonna vary widely. We charge $50/wheel for build labor. Spokes can run anywhere between $1 and about $5 depending on the spoke brand and model.

Same as above. Most shops are around $50 for labor. Note the spoke price of $1-$5 is per spoke. Most wheels have 28-36 spokes each.

You can save money by buying the spokes yourself, starting the lace-up, then taking them in to be finished. It will take some of your time but they will just charge a truing fee usually as long as your tensions are reasonable.

Ya, as long as you don't lace them wrong. Lacing the spokes properly is the hardest part (IMO) .... and if you can get the wheel to that point, there is no reason not to finish it.

I feel like I have paid between anywhere 50 and 80 CDN pesos for this in the past.

Good experience, though, if the person has the spare time to watch the videos on it.

The shop I manage charges the same whether you've laced the wheel already or not. We highly prefer you not try to do it yourself, as we've seen a lot of people come in with either: Wheels laced wrong or wrong spoke lengths.
