How much should labor cost to get the spark plugs replaced?

you can do it yourself in less than an hour, real easy except #7 is a little tough. need a swivel socket for that one. i would guess $60-80 for a shop to do. good luck :cheers:

Had them for about 1000miles, no problems. I've found when changing plugs on the drivers side it's much quicker/easier if you remove the coilpack. It's only five small bolts, you only need a 10mm wrench and two minutes later it's removed.
