Spark plug price

Got quoted a price of $300+tax for parts and labor to change spark plugs no extra charge for if they break off. Is this an offer I should look into considering since it's such a PITA on the '06 year models.

Yes, a very good price. I paid $325 and would have been extra for broken ones had any broken.

Jump on it. My dealer was $249 with a couple of broken ones N/C if it happened. The No Charge for broken plugs is almost too good to be true. Get it in writing and make sure you're getting Mototcraft plugs.

W.L.B and acf6401- I got the 300+tax quote from Elite Lube and Inspection on Garth Rd. in Baytown, TX 77520

And I just got another quote from N.T.B in LaPorte off Spencer for $224 for labor+ the price of each plug+ tax

So both rates are about the same and no extra charge for any if they break

I just did mine yesterday. It took me 8 hours and 3 broke. My garage had quoted $350 plus $85 for each that broke. If that price is true then you have to jump on that. By the time I bought all the plugs and parts and the extractor tool I had spent around $225. And that was at $9 a plug. I plan on posting the pics and my experience when I can get the picture upload to work.
