Any shops in B.C. doing spark plugs for a reasonable rate?

[Karlooch]

Getting quoted 4.5+ hours at 140-160 an hour + tax at a couple reputable shops in the lower mainland. I know the job is a bit tedious in terms of removal but $7-900 seems insane especially as im providing the plugs. Am also contemplating doing it myself.

Seriously, i did it myself and it's nothing complicated, you just need the special thin wall socket for s55 sparks plug and filler gauge to gap the plug

There is a very good diy video on YouTube

It took me 4-5 hours, nothing hard just time

Take the time to correctly gap your plug and take your time.

It's a beginner diy for real

Don't pay 700$ + for that just for time

Thanks dude. Brother and I are going to do it this weekend along with rear diff fluid. Crazy what these shops are quoting.

If you’re tuned, you definitely need to gap correctly ...

Yes I'm sure, i bought ngk platinium or iridium, the expensive one and i had to gap them all, from my memories, the gap was too high, had to close them to reach the correct gap specs

I had bpm sport stage 1 on my f80 m3, after the sparks plug replacement, the car was running perfectly, didn't see any difference from before the replacement of oem plugs
