Perhaps you can find a closer location that offers a similar service

You will end with a very smooth running engine, last time I paid about $22-24 per
injector.

Check them out at RC Fuel Injection
.
Injector cleaning and refurbishing firms typically do a fine job as long as they are good, and local, otherwise the car is tied up for several days, which is why they don’t work well for shop’s unless they are both very close and offer quick turn around. Otherwise it is usually cheaper to just replace the units with rebuilds or even new.
