N54 Intake valve cleaning. Where does it/how much?

Hey everyone,
I am new to the E90 world and I am looking for a place to do the intake blasting on my 07 335i. I am located in corvallis oregon (about an 1.5 hours south of portland) and would like to get the service done sooner than later.

Kuni BMW and BMW of Eugene supposedly does not offer a intake valve cleaning service.
BMW of Salem gave me a "off the top of my head" quote of $1500.
BMW of Portland gave me a solid quote of $750.

Any Oregon indys offer this service? Just to be clear I am wanting to have the intake valves walnut blasted (I am sure most of you know this).

Thank you for your help!

I had mine done by CWARREN and it turned out fantastic! I was gonna let him chime in instead of volunteering him, but sportrider already did that

OP: How many miles on your car and has it ever been done?

I will shoot him a PM

It has 79,9XX miles right now and to the best of my knowledge it has not been done. I am having the maintenance records retrieved and sent to me tomorrow by BMW. I am anxious to see what they say.

79K isn't bad and shouldn't be too difficult to do. Best of luck!
