just buy some seafoam for $12 and do it urself and you can put it in ur gas and in ur oil but u have to change ur oil after 500miles or so i cnt remember, but u just suck it thru (slowly) the brake booster hose, it'll do the same thing and it's alot cheaper, use the search button for seafoam.

you pay $12 for a can of seafoam? You're getting robbed blind! I've read 1/3 a can in the gas tank, 1/3 a can in the oil and 1/3 into the brake booster hose (or some other vacuum line). I did a full can into my carburetor on my '87 civic back when it had about 160k miles. It worked wonders.

In Los Angeles, the highest price I've seen for seafoam is $6

their tryin to steal ur money. induction services' are cheap and dont take anywhere near 4 hours. u could do one urself for ~$10 with Sea Foam and about 15mins of time..

heres how to use Sea Foam
