Getting my forks straighten will cost about 70$ USD so it's cheaper. $250 seems kind of a lot especially since it will take time and money to get them delivered over here.

@How did the mechanic check the steering bearings? - well...
Did the mechanic get weight off the front and see how easily it turns? - yeah. He said bad bearings can be heard/felt when you do that.
Did he loosen the steering stem bolt to drop the front an inch to look at the bearings? - no. He seemed really certain it's not the bearings. I asked him repeatedly.

The guy also wanted 70$ to change the fork oil and the majority of that is for his trouble and not for parts. I guess that means he will not be chaining springs. Or he will be putting in cheap ones (I actually don't remember him mentioning springs at all).
