That's quicker than changing a flat . 10 to 15 bucks and a couple mins of shop time. I wouldn't even bother calling a shop to do that. I'd just show up. That's one of those things shops make a priority. Flats, quick brake fixes and shifting adjustments. Easy to fix and quick turnarounds for a pro.
As a bonus they will be able to do a cursory glance at the bike while it's in the stand and point out any other issues or drivetrain wear ect... plus a air top off for both tires and a chainlubing .
I can make usually make more money in a shop daily just fixing flats and basic brake / shifting adjustments and brake pade replacements if it was just one after another all day long.
