Unless you've warped a blade or bent the shaft of a bit, there's no reason a shop shouldn't put it in as good a condition as new. Usually on sawblades its only a few bucks a piece, but more to replace teeth. However I suppose they're no different than any other trade, they have bad days too and there's some good ones and not so good ones.

As mentioned earlier I often touch mine up with a diamond stone on the back/flat side, don't touch the profile, and the small amount it changes won't likely hurt anything.

I also only by carbide bits and blades.

With to cost of quality bits, there may be a point to sharpen and not throw out.
I got them sent away to be sharpened - cant remember the name of the company
