Cant help you with a recomendation, but I would at least check the valves yourself. You may find they don't even need adjustment, or only one or two need it. Its really not too hard to do, and only really "special" tool you'll need is the shim carrier depressing tool that pushes the lifter down so you can get the shim out. Otherwise just a feeler gauge set. You can get the valve shims pretty cheap and if you check your vavles first, you can just order the sizes you need ahead of time, unless they are way out or really tight like the valve is hanging open. If nothing else, if you just check them at least you'll know how many valves need to be adjusted so you can tell the shop thats doing the work and maybe get a better estimate if they are charging per hour or something.
