He's got the AGA tool, so it's 1500$ for the labor and 250-300$ for the parts (timing cover gasket,valve cover gasket,intake manifold gasket set,coolant,actuator seal set etc)....
Given no additional work required besides this, the price is between 1750-2000$.
I might just jump on this offer and fix them. He said he needs the car for 4-5 days..
So if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll hook you up.
Honestly, this is a costly job, but my mechanic's price makes me feel good while looking at what the dealer or other independent shops charge for this.

Well, that's that. Have a good one!
