One particular place (TPCS in the UK), (before I told them the size of the covers) estimated £95ea to refurb, much better than £1400 for a pair of ally covers!!
Plugs have done 44.5K miles... Long overdue... Time with the vehicle off the road - in order to refurb the valve covers - would be another factor for me to consider, as well as the logistics of getting the old covers to a refurb shop, but thanks for the advice. Sounds like you saved a considerable amount of cash.
