Not as common as a leak at the back of the rocker cover *mimicking* a rear
main seal leak, as others have pointed out.

Um...not. There is no such a thing as them "doing a top end cleaning,
too". The stuff they hook up to the fuel rail is injector and top-end
cleaner. So is the stuff in the bottle labelled "TECHRON" or the can
labelled "BG 44K" that you buy for $16 and pour in the fuel tank.
Even if we assume that removal and thorough cleaning of the throttle body
and AIS were included, $150 is kinda rich.

Or just use Chevron gasoline... Shell gas also has
the high-tech additives in it now. This is one service
you don't need... major boondoggle.

I'm not high and that $16 bottle of techron has no where near the cleaning
capability of the stuff they feed directly into the rail. I prefer to use
this system though. http://www.motorvac.com/ Average cost is $99 and it
takes about half an hour.
