If it's just some inexperienced person cranking the truss rod without knowing what to do, or sanding the saddle without first checking neck relief, then it will be $20 or so...and you may be looking for another tech before long.
If it's a meticulous technician who will check neck relief, nut groove depth, and saddle height, fret condition, and knows what to adjust when and how much to adjust them - you could spend $50-75 and end up with a setup which will last a couple years.
And your guitar will play like butter (if that's what you want).
