If you were really a "PRO" you wouldn't need to ask!

3.7 V6 I assume...there are 3 chains, requires special tools to hold the camshafts and requires a lot of work, I would say a pro with all the tools should take 8-10 hours. Plus the chain set is somewhere around $350. Those usually don't go bad and have tensioners...what seems to be the problem?

Dealers and most "professional" repair shops will charge "book time". That is what the factories repair manual tells them to charge for a specific repair. On the good side, if the book says three hours and it takes them 5 they should only charge you 3 hours. On the bad side, if the book says 5 hours and they do it in 2 they charge 5 hours.
As 02 posted, "Those usually don't go bad and have tensioners...what seems to be the problem?" One reason would be lack of proper maintenance.
