I was wondering if you could tell me how much it would cost to do my upfront valve cover gasket upfront and back?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is a tutorial showing what is involved for a valve cover gasket replacement:

I've attached a picture below showing a rough estimate for parts and labor.Shop labor rates can vary depending what kind of shop and area you live in.Shop labor on average is $100.00 an hour.Your car calls for 2.7 hours labor.Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
