I know from previous threads that buying NGK plats for maxima online is good priced if bought at around $7-$12 bucks. But, I went to this tuneup-brake shop at san diego today and had my tires rotated. I asked the guy for a spark replacement job and he gave me a quote for $57 or somewhere around there. And yes, that includes the NGK plats which he said he can get it for a very cheap price. He gets them around for like 2bucks, and sells for 3bucks. So thats about $20 for NGK spark plugs and about $37 bucks for service. Thats cheap I think.

I was thinking about doing this myself but for $57bucks, I think i'll go for that instead. If I do it myself, I'll have to get NGKs for around $12bucks each, spark plug extension, spark plug socket, and maybe something else too. That itself will cost more than $57, so I was like I'm not going through all that trouble when I can do it for $57...

If there is a better deal than this, please tell me because I have a appointment for this tuneup job this fri.. Oh yea, I don't know if I can just buy plugs from this shop.. Pretty cheap for around $3bucks.

 

If you can buy them from him at $3 each let me know and I'll mail a check to you for 6 of them. Thanks

better make sure they are NGK platinums and not normal copper plugs.

 

i'll take some
this ain't bs is it?

 

most likely they aren't platinums

 

are you sure these are the Platinums? they sound like the Copper ones. If they are the NGK Platinums and they are for $3 each. Ill take 24 of them right now. Im serious too. thanks

 

Please tell me the name of the shop, that's a hell of a good deal!

Thanks!

 

speedy tune and brake at miramar.

I will tell them to show me the spark plugs before they install it to make sure they're NGKs. Yea, when I first heard him say $3 bucks, I had a feeling it was copper.. Or, this could turn out to be the best spark plug deal ever.

 

hmmmm..... Platinums? For $3 a piece? Sounds like a group deal!!!

 

I'll give them a call on Wednesday.

Thanks!!!!!!

 

When something seems too good to be true, it usually isn't true.

 

It sounds too good to be true. I'll be happy when I see the NGKs myself.. Right now, kinda skepticle..

 

I own a auto parts shop in Miami, and those plugs cost me about 6 bucks each. Check to make sure the platinum. If they are there either HOT or factory seconds. I've seen a lot of plugs that R made by NGK,AC/DEL,Champion,Motorcraft.....
that did not meet manufactures specs and R sold as seconds(defects). Usually they R sold out of the country, but they always find there way back here and R sold for cheap. Most places mark up on plug Wholesale,retail,Distributors or what not is only a few cents on each plug so its hard to belive that he gets them at 2 bucks each

 

Yea, I THINK its a very low quality plugs. Right now, i'm thinking about buying the plugs separately from a dealer and have them install it for me. Dealer charges 56bucks for service... Thats too much.

 

Don't let the dealer rip you like that. I took an hour and a half of my time and put the plugs in myself. Enjoyed working on my car too.
