Bike is at the shop for spoke replacement and truing.

I saw some material on truing, but it was confusing at best.

Truing requires experience and practice. Find a broken wheel somewhere and practice on it before attempting to fix your own bike. It also requires special tools (truing stand, dishing gauge, etc.). There are ways to true wheels without them.

If your bike shop did not tell you, bring the bike back after about 100 miles to check the wheel. Repeat until a touch up is no longer required.
