Hydraulic Valve lifters? These are overhead cams. It is about a 10-15 minute job, involving pulling the valve cover and rotating the engine and checking/adjusting the clearence. 15K miles? Sounds about right. I haven't owned it since 2001.

$200+ for the check? Well, add in a valve cover gasket and then add in the time minimum (maybe 30 minutes) and you'll certainly get $200+.
