Timing Pricing?

I'm going to call around tomorrow to make an appointment to have my truck timed one day next week. I was wondering what the going rate is for it? I don't mind paying for it but I don't want to get raped either. I'm thinking from my searching on here that $150-$200 is about right.

Thanks.

John

i usally charge 100 bucks, but i am not a shop. many shops don't know how to advance the timing with plunger lift #s. make sure they know how to do it, just ask them how they advance it.

I called a shop here and he said it'll take 1.0-1.5 hours. Charges $75/hour. So maybe a little over $100 to advance the timing. How do I know if he knows how to deal with plunger lift pumps? Cause no matter what he tells me I wouldn't know if that's correct...
