Sam, you might want to just check them yourself before taking it in
somewhere. It's a lot easier to check them than to adjust them and there's a
good chance they don't need an adjustment. My '00 has about 45K and it's
still in spec, never needed an adjustment so far.  The exhaust valves are
near the tight end of the spectrum (3 .009's and 1 .008) but still ok,
intakes are right in the middle (.006).
