To say they aren't looking at the lower end in a $6K rebuild is absolute robbery. Do some more homework, hope the bank account is full
Exactly. If they are quoting 6k for a valve job before they even look at the bottom end (could easily have piston damage), you are in for a much bigger repair bill. This shop doesn't seem legit.
