crazy quote from local shops 120-130

Hello All,

I have been considering taking my car in to finish the poly bushes on the old 120. The quote was $150. Not bad I thought... Then I asked about a valve adjustment and a tune-up to include synchronizing the carbs- I was quoted $300!

Is it just me or isn't that really high? I was always taught to do the valve adjustment, tune up prior to touching the carbs- If the car isn't running right how can you sync the carbs? Time to rent another garage I think!

Cheers,
gd
