Default Machine work (good price/bad price)?

Alright guys,

So I'm building a single cam for my daily driver. I'm buying my parts piece by piece from a friend (will have them all in two more weeks or so). I'm getting:

75.5mm pistons
crower rods
crane cam
valve springs/retainers
.5mm oversized valves
block guard

Now, stock bore on the single cam is 75mm. I'm just going to need somebody too bore it out to 75.5 and then do a valve job on the head. The Head Shop off London Bridge wants to charge me:

$50 for hot tank
$95 for boring
$125 for notching (I can notch that shit myself)

$300 for valve job (making the oversized fit/3angle)

I've never had to have any machine work done (always bought oem size parts), do those prices seem reasonable?

Thanks.
