Shop Around some more! Price seems high. (Two Days of Labor?)
1.'Somebody told you your Headbolt Receiver Holes are "Buggered"?
First I'd get an Expert, Unbiased (No Pony In this Race) Opinion.
2. I'd use "Timeserts" over Helicoils.
(Single piece insert,not a floppy coil.'Much Stronger.)

[Hell, I'm "Risk Challenged",I'd do the Timeserts myself,IF Necessary.]
