it varies but about 100-125 dollars have it done where they use BG44k this is what almost all of the manufacturers use and it works. Generally you want to do an upper intake flush. this cleans the carbon build up off the back of the valves and will restore lost power and efficiency. At the same time they will add the bg44k to your gas tank to clean the injectors

It depends on just what's done. Some of the cheap fuel injector cleanings are just adding some sort of additive (which, at worst, may even be little more than moth flakes in kerosene) to the gas tank. That shouldn't cost very much at all; even the costliest are $5 a bottle.
Then there was the time I had a set of injectors cleaned by a racing shop. It cost me $140 for a set of six, and those were a set I had removed myself, so that did not include removal and installation. For that money, they completely unclogged a dirty injector, replaced all the rubber parts, and pumped solvent through them backwards at high pressure on an injector cleaning machine. They may have run them through an ultrasonic cleaner too. And the shop flow-tested them before and after cleaning, and showed me the results. They'd started with one injector that wasn't even working and several others in various states of dirty, and had them flowing within 1 cc/min of each other when they were through.

If you are wondering about how much it is to get the fuel injectors cleaned out, you would probably save money just to have new ones put in!!!!!
plan on 40-80 each for new ones......
plus you want to change out the fuel filter when doing this.
Lucas Ols makes a great gasoline additive that you put in your tank when you fill up. it helps dry out the fuel system as well as help clean out the injectors.
try this first if you are on a tight budget.
the additive is available at most auto parts stores.....
