So, I'm spinning up on the valve clearance check work, and as part of that, I checked the cost of a dealer performed valve check and adjust.
They quoted me what I though was an astonishing price, considering all the work involved.
The service manager told me: "4 hours for a full service check", about $350 with tax., including an oil change.
I was floored. I read the how-to's, and I'm no slouch with the tool bin, but I'm sure it would be 2 days for me to just get it far enough apart to check valve clearances, let alone adjust them if out of spec.
He was totally reasonable, too, saying it's too soon to consider doing this at 10K miles (what I've currently got on the cycle).
What am I missing? What should I be asking them?
Thanks,
Bob
