Have 2000 Protege ES with 168k miles
Smokes upon startup in morning
Assuming it the valve guide bushings
Any idea what typical cost is to have it done?
And can ANY mechanic do it?

At 168k, I would not "assume" anything! Compression & leakdown tests should be done before you commit to doing actual repair. "ANY" is too broad. An experienced Mazda mechanic with the proper tools should have no problems.
