soooooooooooo, the mechanic I've been going to for 5 yrs. wants to charge $180.00 for oil change and valve adjustment. Does this seem reasonable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Oh, 71 stock 914 1.7...

I hadn't adjusted the valves on a car with actual heat exchangers and the rest of the heating stuff in place until I worked on T.C.'s car. I'd say with an oil change rolled in as well that's easily an $180 job at a competent shop (read: it does take some skill to get in there and do everything accurately with all the stuff in the way). I work for beer and comradery with T.C. but if I had a shop that would seem a reasonable rate with parts added in, as others mentioned.
