Bad Coils

Hey guyz, what's up - this morning i dropeed off my car to the dealership because of the lighted service engine soon light, and my slip and tcs off lights were also on. I just recieved a call from the service advisor telling me its gonna cost them 900 bux to replace my coils. I only have 38k miles and my car is a 2k! He said all of my coils have gone bad, but the car drives fine. Do you guys have any tips on what i can do??? If i do need to replace them is tehre a place u can get it done for cheap?? Also, shouldn't this be covered under the powertrain warranty?? IF i call corporate office, would it make any diff.???

Really upset here, appreciate the help in advance....
thankz, later....

Whatever you do, don't let them take you for $900. Buy them yourself and install them yourself, it is, honestly, a 15 minute job, MAX. I can probably do it in five.

Not sure, but 02-03 normally doesn't have problems with the coils... just 00 and 01 I think.
