'Would' after 'if'
Hello everybody,
I need help with following sentence:
'I took that faulty kettle back to the shop and asked the assistant if they would change it for me.'
I was always told that modal verbs can't be after "if" but I'm not really sure if it isn't some kind of exception or maybe it isn't a conditional at all. I'm staring at the sentence for too long, so it seems all wrong to me.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
