Im fairly new to trucking and looking to buy the Cobra 29LTD Chrome with the blue face lights. Loves has it on sale for $99.99
Heres my questions ..
What does it usually cost for a peak at tune?
Woukd I be better off buying it from a CB shop or get the one at Loves and get a CB shop to peak and tune it?
Is there anything else I should have done to it?

ONLY in the CB world. "Everyone" is relying on CB myth and legend for their info. Except for a few specific types of installations, there IS no specific length for coax. CB radio is subject to the SAME electronics theory as every OTHER band of frequencies!
It simply doesn't matter. If this bunch of hooey were true, then hams would have to have over 200 FEET of coax to work 160 (1.8 MHZ) Meters in a mobile. Now WHERE would you PUT all this coax in a small Chevy truck? Yet hams work 1.8 MHZ, and 3.8 MHZ, and 7.2 MHZ, and 14.300 MHZ, and 18 MHZ, and 21 MHZ, and 24 MHZ, AND 29 MHZ with ONE coax of NO particular length AND ONE antenna!!!!!!!!! It is the ANTENNA that radiates the signal, not the freakin' coax; if this stuff was true, you could just do away with the antenna and cut coax to a certain length, and WOO HOO!
Ya want an easy formula for cuttin' coax? "A length that is directly preportional to that length corresponding to the distance from the radio to the antenna"! Gobblydegook that sounds high falalutin', but means: CUT the coax to whatever length will reach from the radio to the antenna! THEN tune the ANTENNA to get them "SWR'zzzzzzzzzzzzz" down to at least 1.5 : 1. THA's ALL!
