Does he balance the mower blades too and check for bending? What's the going rate?

Yes.. he static balances them.

We use to have a VA truck that would come by our neighborhood and do the same thing.

Not a bad deal, given the service and his overhead.

Overhead is minimal since that truck was paid off 40 years ago.

Yeah, maintenance is cheap on a 40 year old vehicle. :lol:
The face that he still comes to you is worthwhile though.
