I thought Japanese virgins were .001?
I personally check mine every year... I'm on original ap1 retainers. Since I did the valves at 10k when the car was new, the clearances have barely changed at all in 100k miles. Maybe .001 on two valves.

Assuming they did the work (correctly), I guess that's a good price for a dealership. I mean, at least it isn't $250, but it ain't $80 either.

I've had good interactions with them so I don't doubt that they'll do the work and do it right. I just figured for a dealership job it'd cost me more than $250 so I was pleasantly surprised. And for $160 it's totally not worth me DIYing it in the future.

Evasive Motorsports gave me a valve adjustment today, only $100. Can't beat that. They told me my valves were very loose and way out of spec. I doubt it had ever been done before

My concern is that they might just through a 9 and 11 thou feeler gauge, say that seems fine and not bother to adjust it to the lower end of the range to bang out a 1.5 hour (?) flat rate job in less than 20 minutes. Or worse, they could be be impatient and now wait for the engine to cool before making adjustments.
