Go here if you have extra money you want to set on fire. Not budget friendly. $500 to replace spark plugs. I said, spark plugs are $20 each, if I find the most expensive. Their response, "well, we have our mark up, so they are $66 a piece." Oh, well, that's very honest of you, on how you are ripping me off. $230 for "diagnostic". Why? Well, it's $179 "plus tax" they must have mark up on tax, too. Update: took it to another shop... $174.55 OUT THE DOOR! Quote at "Honest-My-Ass" was $1500+
Thank you for your feedback. We reviewed your visit and want to clarify a few important points. For your vehicle, factory OEM spark plugs are required. Cheaper aftermarket plugs will cause misfires and engine damage. The correct plugs for your engine retail at $38.04 each, so you are right — our system mistakenly listed them higher, and we appreciate the opportunity to correct that. Your estimate also included ASE-certified labor, which is priced to cover proper removal, inspection, torque procedures, and coil testing — not just “unscrewing plugs.” Every repair we perform is backed by a nationwide 3-year/36,000-mile warranty (whichever comes last), which most budget shops cannot offer, and is included in our pricing. Regarding the diagnostic: the $179 charge (plus tax) was accurate and explained at drop-off. This includes full scan testing, inspection, and confirmation of the underlying issue—not just reading a code. We understand that pricing matters, and we respect your decision to compare shops. Just keep in mind that parts quality, technician certification, and warranty coverage can vary widely. We always aim to provide repairs that are safe, correct, and protected long-term. If you’d like us to review or adjust anything further, we’re always willing to help.
