Timing chain replacement and valve job-what is reasonable and where to go

First off hello everybody I know it has been a while,I hope everyone is doing fine and well.

This is for Shatzel (yes that is the license plate-got from original owner 11 years
ago 1985 300 sd).

Just turned 253k miles time to do some major service.Oil changed every 3k miles,
valves adjusted every 15k miles.

So what do you think is reasonable for timing chain and guides ? I was thinking
about 2k.

Second where in the Los Angeles area you would feel good about getting it done.Yes I miss Enrique dearly (Mr MB Motors). Vic is nice but no Enrique and when
we brought her down (Saturday is now by appointment) and driving 100 miles from Bakersfield,it is not the same.

Thanks everyone and take care
