I needed to know what it should cost ( I am in NC) to have the valve cover gaskets replaced. They charged my "English as a second language- Japanese Wife" 252.48 to replace both side. So the bombs seemed to be dropping on me from North Carolina. Is the price fair and if not. What should I do. Thank you for your time.

The valve cover gaskets will cost about 30-40 bucks for the pair

and the job will last about 1 hour to an hour and half. Minutes at the most.

I would say for the whole job it would be no more then 200 bucks.
