Spark Plug replacement cost

BlueBimmer · 03-18-2015, 09:11 AM

Please don't hate, I haven't thoroughly searched this topic like I should've but I am at work and don't have the time. If anyone has any input on where around the Philly burbs area I can get spark plugs replaced for a decent price, please let me know ASAP.

I called a shop yesterday and got quoted $300 - that I think is too high. Any thoughts>?

On another note, if anyone can help me DIY this, I'll pay for your time.

The plugs cost ~$70, the job is not hard, and about an hour labor from a good Indy shop. $300 is high IMO.

$300 is pretty excessive for this service. You can DIY for the $70 335NJ mentioned plus $15 for the spark plug socket if you don't already have one.

If you supply your own plugs then it should be no more than $100-$150.

I have the park plug socket if you need to borrow it btw.

ill help u in your drive way for $100 bucks. You'll also learn so that you won't need to go to a shop for something as simple as spark plugs.

DIY it's pretty straight forward if you have the tools. $300 is a lot, but if you want to have a shop do it see how much they charge if you bring your own plugs.

+1 for Helix, had some work done there before and never an issue.

Plus they have a Forza racing seat & steering wheel for Xbox in the waiting room, so there's that.
