If you trust the guy and you don't want to do it yourself its more then fair.
I paid $60 just to get an o2 sensor unstuck.
Just read this again, don't like the sound of a "hell change"

Sorry Damn phone,, should have been he'll change... And I do trust the guy he was a mechanic for a vw/audi dealership for like 20 years,, and he has A huge garage at home that he's is just starting his own business. And I've done an lim gasket on my last blazer and it wasn't fun, and i don't have the time right now to do ot anyway..

I just looked this up and the book hrs read 3.9. So tough to find somebody to work on your car for $25 an hour. One thing make sure you get the felpro gaskets.
