That is an insane quote. You cant even justify the rest as labor. This is small/easy job that would only take 30 mins tops. She's lucky she found an honest mechanic to handle it.

I know, I was shocked on how much they wanted.

$76 for an air filter, over $70 per spark plug, over $200 per coil pack and $100 for shop supplies? What a bunch of scammers! How these shops even survive is beyond me!

I agree 👍👍👍 And then most of the time not to fix it right

I just finished changing the spark plugs on my girls 16' Elantra, those things were brown and the tips looked almost rusted/corroded. My spark plugs were "pre-gapped" as well but I double checked them just to be safe...1 out of the 4 was gapped correctly. I had to adjust the other 3 (btw for the 16' Elantra it's 0.044). I did it one by one as I didn't want to leave an open cylinder. Super easy and I like how detail you are sir. Great job.

Hey man, great video. I'm definitely subscribed. Didn't know it was that easy. That quote is definitely an inflation quote. Thanks for the video man. Question, is it always nessesary to change the coil packs when changing the spark plugs? Can they not be reused?

Thanks for the sub! No, it is not necessary to change the coil packs when you change the spark plugs

The person whose car I was repairing wanted to replace all of them because one went bad 👍

Silly question, as I'm no mechanic, and I want to try this on my own. What is the tan piece on the end of the socket piece to pull out the spark plug? Thanks in advance.

I was using a magnet to pull out the spark plugs after I loosen them. The spark plug socket has a little rubber piece inside it that usually holds on to the spark plug after you undo it 👍👍

$1800 for sparkplugs, coilpacks, and air filter?! That shop has to be the biggest scam ever I had to pay $700 for a shop to "fix my ac" and they butchered my fuse box and never fixed my ac. But this is a new record

The easiest tune-up ever it only took me a half an hour from start to finish

$100 of that $1,800 estimate was for the air filter which took seconds to put in

Did those Duralast coils work out ok? Some people were saying they weren’t “good enough”. But if they work, I’ll get them.
