Recommendations for good wheel truing

My back wheel has gone slightly out of true. No broken spokes yet.

Past experience at my normal shop has often led to repeat visits when spokes break later on. Overtightening I guess?

Anyone have a shop that they rely on and can recommend?

Thanks

if slightly out of true and not super high end wheels I'd recommend a spoke wrench and some online tutorials.

I believe West Town Bikes offers wheel building classes. Some of my other vintage bike friends recommend them.

Whoever you bring it to, make sure they re-dish your wheel, there's something going on here more than the wheel just being out of true. Otherwise, it might be time to look at a new wheel. Your wheels shouldn't need so much work to stay true. If you're a heavier rider, make sure you get a wheel with a higher spoke count.
