They rarely require adjusting & it's only £500-£600 if both cams need to come out & most of the shims need replaced.
Just checking them would be much, much cheaper - only costing you the price of a new gasket & a couple of other bits.
Having some expert at hand to point out any mistooks would be a comfort tho
But you'd also learn a lot which IMO is even more valuable.
As reference, my own's currently on 47000 miles and I'm not even thinking about doing a check for the next 13,000 miles.
