GM is reimbursing 4.7 hours work for camshaft cover removal under warranty. Those reimbursements tend to be tight - setup for a fast moving skilled tech. A independent shop mechanic likely can do it (not jiffy, meineke etc) but quality and price depends on shop. It is likely a moderate to high skilled job. I've never removed a camshaft cover but I've seen one. Ha.
I'm sure there are members that have removed one but based on the bulletin time varies from 2 hours to 5 depending on vehicle. It's not all the same. The Malibu complicates because of tamper proof tubes/pipe that must be replaced.
