I damaged some threads when I had to cut out a corroded BB cup; my favorite shop, Wheel Away, charged me $10- to chase the threads and face the BB with their $300- Park tool set. To me, a great bargain. I doubt that they'll ever pay for the tool set.
If Wheel Away had caused thread damage to a BB shell, they would have chased the threads, and the customer would never know. The BB would go in and out super smooth, and the threads would be greased. A good shop will make sure that the threads are not damaged before the bike leaves their care.
