I remember it being around $700 from online locations. I would be surprised if the price is less than that, even though it ought to be more in the price range you figured ($200-$300) or less. If the cleaning included the valve cover, which is also plastic with intake ports in it ($300 online) they would be starting to get somewhere, but honestly unless the cleaning includes the head, valves, and all intake paths, they are spinning their wheels
