Hey Yall,

Dealership wants to charge me $1200 to have my intake valves walnut blasted. You know where i told them to take that offer. Someone please offer me some advice on where I can get this done.

I HATE THE DEALERSHIP

I had a buddy of mine do my 60k mile maintenance and clean the intake valves.

All new gaskets with labor included was less than what they asked from you for just the intake valve cleaning.

He didn't do a walnut blast tho, he went the soak method. Suppose to get pictures of how severe the carbon was. I'll post em when I do.
