    Just got a second hand rear wheel for my turbo trainer but it is bended a bit.

    How much to get it sorted in a bike shop?

    Getting a wheel "trued" is about 10-15 euro.

    Would you trust Halfords to tune a wheel?

    Just so I get it done today.

    Yes although service varies from store to store but they generally have truing stands and are reasonably competent. They may not do it today though they usually book you in I think.

    You could also pick up one of the tool kits and give it a go yourself you wont need a truing stand or at least you wont need it tracking perfectly for turbo use only.
