$2,300 for labour?!!??!....wow!
Caveat - I'm no 993 expert, mine's a 964 Turbo, so this is just me surmising.....but why do they need to drop the engine?
The exhaust covers can be accessed directly from underneath by putting the car on a lift. To get to the inlet covers, surely on the 993 it's just a case of removing the airbox(es), induction gubbins and some hoses and accessing the covers from the top?...or, when the car is on the lift, remove the tinware skirts so that the top half of the engine is accessible from underneath (ie., as if you were changing the plugs or setting the valve rocker gaps on a pre-993 car).
I'm sure somebody with 993 experience will chime in, but if it were me, I'd be a) doing it myself, or b) shopping around for a second opinion.
HTH,
Spencer.
