They need to relax ALL the tension on ALL the spokes, bring it back up to tension while destressing the spokes along the way. If they dont regularly build wheels from parts or some fucking high school kid says he'll fix it then take it elsewhere. alternatively, if the guy has a long beard and looks like a bike wizard you're in the right place.
What is happening is that while the wheel may be true, the spoke tension is not even all the way around, so when you ride it the spokes get too loose and will break.
this (especially the bold parts)
a proper shop will de-tension and re-tension all spokes when replacing more than one spoke.
I generally trust anybody who looks like they live in the woods with their bike... It's likely this wheel is on it's way out as my guess is the PO of the bike was a string bean and not a 200lb Clydesdale like myself. As a side note anybody have interest this spring/summer in running Mass'o'nutten or Bryce bike park? I've got an inkling to break my other arm in some epic downhill crash... JK.
