Hey buddy, I got a quote last week for about $835 to overhaul them all. Haven't had it done yet as I want to know if it seems a fair price. The guy said it's takes an hour to do each one. I thought that was a bit far fetched but I'm no expert. Just seems rubish haha. Let me know how you go. I'm interested to know what others have paid :)

They are a 2 spring injector, that requires 3 adjustments to be done in the process of assembly. That means they are coming apart and going together 4-6 times to get everything set correctly.

Cheers for that info Andy :) I got another quote today for $690 to do the overhaul.

$690.
I presume that's the price for reconditioning only. No removal or re-install included. A similar service is available on Ebay for $576.

I'm intersted in having this done myself but have a few other questions.
How can I be reasonably certain my injectors need doing and I'm going to see some gain in spending this money?
How difficult is removing injectors if one chose to do this part?
Is re-installation simply a matter of reversal of removal operation or is some setting up/ tuning required?

removal and installation is relatively easy if you are capable with the tools. They can be well seized in place and take a bit to nudge them out.
