I've seen signs similar to this one in a lot of auto repair shops:
$50.00 for xxx repair: 3 minutes to do the work, the rest is having the skills, knowledge and tools to do the job.
For under $25 you can buy all the tools you need to remove the freewheel, overhaul the hubs and true the wheels if you use the frame and brake pads for a truing stand.

A wheel dishing tool is handy too.
