Spark Plug Replacement, Mucho Dinero?
I went to get some work done at pep boys the other day and maybe a spark plug change. I asked about it and they said it cost $28 for each plug + 200 in labor cause they would have to take the manifold off, etc. So total about $450!!!!! Is this true?
Thanks

OMG, how bad are they trying to rape you?
$700 is waay too much. $48 for 6 plugs if their $8 each, I dont know how elaborat it is to change them on a 5th gen but damn it cant be worth $700!
wow, the service departments much be hurting more now a days since more and more people are doing the work themselves.

As far as the 3.5, you have to yank the upper intake manifold to access the rear bank of plugs. Shouldn't take more than 30-45 miuntes to do the entire 3.5's 6 spark plugs
