Question Intake valve cleaning

Does anyone know where I can go to get the intake valves cleaned in the bay area?

BMW of Concord said they can't do it
and also got quoted $800 from a shop called bavarian professionals in Berkeley.

so, any other options?

+1 - $800 seems pretty good. I think the dealer is around $1200

I thought 800 was a bit steep after reading on here that some people have done it for below 500.

At bavarian Pros they told me they keep the car over-night and soak it in seafoam. So, I'd be without a car for a full 24 hours.

let me know the best price you find. i am interested in getting mine cleaned. maybe we could negotiate a price down further if we did the cars at the same time.
