Default 400.00 for new plugs/install???

The stealership quoted me 376.00 to put new plugs in the Eco-boost. WOW. Claimed they have to remove the entire intake manifold to get to the back 2 plugs. Is this true?

It's. A pretty easy job, took me maybe 45 minutes max. There are plenty of YouTube videos on this. Plugs cost $3-4 a piece. Just had to remove the engine cover.

Lol, that's freaking nuts, so full of BS.
I would not go back there again for anything.
Job is extremely easy

I charge $351 because I do extra, I service the piston return spring.

Gotta pay for those big extravagant dealerships somehow. Just think how many people who don't know better and just have them do it.

I asked...and he replied that no, it only covered a BS carbon/intake cleaning process and plug replacement. Nothing to do with wires/coils
