Questions About Fuel Injection Cleaning

***EDIT**** I meant Intake System Cleaning not Fuel Injection Cleaning lol

So this morning I desperately needed my oil changed and was too lazy to do it so I went to a jiffy Lube and had it done real quick. While i was there they said I needed to Have the intake system cleaned and that it should be about every 15000 miles. They had to replace some kind of valve or something. So i did it and they gave me half price for it, I paid 75 bucks to have it done... My question is 1. Did I get ripped off and 2. Was it nessecary

What are they talking about? I have never had anyone try to sell me that when I took my car in. Do you have a stock intake or an aftermarket? I clean my after market once a year with some good old pamolive...lol
