The valve adjustment was $133 which included a new valve cover gasket. The ball joint was $241. I thought the valve job was good deal, especially with the dramatic improvement in performance. The ball joint caught me by surprise, after looking at how near it was to failing, and what it took to replace it, I was glad to pay the shop, even without knowing if this was a good price or not. Most importantly, had I not taken into a qualified MB shop, I would have never found it until it failed, causing more damage.
