Yes that sounds right. You can clean out the carbon yourself by getting a heavy duty carbon cleaner, available at most good parts stores. I think Auto Zone may even carry it. I believe the type of cleaner your shop is referring to actually is put in through a vacuum line, which in turn goes through the intake manifold and removes carbon deposits. You can do this yourself, but $40 is not an unreasonable cost (my shop charges about that much to do it). I have used it on vehicles I have owned and noted better performance. Hope that helps you out.


Edit: the wal-mart fuel injector cleaner that goes in the gas tank will clean your fuel injectors, after you go through about 6 tanks of gas each with a bottle of cleaner. It won't clean to the extent of the cleaner that the shop is recommending (if it's the same type of cleaning we do). If all they are doing actually IS putting in injector cleaner, then I would say no and go buy about 6 bottles of stuff from wal-mart and do it yourself, putting one in on an empty tank, and then filling up.
