Is this a dealer mechanic or an independent? I can't imagine more
than a couple hundred for the chains (a 16v B202 motor chain is about
45 bucks). Probably the motor has to come out, so figure a MAX of 10
hours for a competent mechanic to R&R the motor, so, depending on
your local labor rate, between $500 & 750 for labor. Assuming the
chains are the ONLY thing they're changing, you shouldn't pay more
than $1000 for the job.
