I think my lbs charges 2 dollars a spoke and then 50 for labor when it comes to making wheels, which is ridiculous. what i did my first time was spin your wheel, hold the edge of your spoke wrench near the rim, so it touches when the bent part passes if you know what i mean. make it so it eventually stops at that point, then start by tightening the opposite side spokes or loosening the same side spokes. That's not a good explanation and maybe not the right way, but it worked for me (not perfectly but way better than how it was), and i'm new to it.
