Dealer price on changing plug's

[mahadera]

Brought my car to the dealer for a couple of recall's.While there,i ask them how much to change my sparkplug.They want $350.00+tax.Is it a normal price for that?I think that's a little stiff?

Not stiff for a dealer charge. If handy at all, you can do the swap yourself using this guide:

My dealer did my plugs for 220.. Didn't think it was too bad. I just changed them again myself though in an hour and saved myself 175$..

I attached a PDF receipt from my plug change.. This was an entire year ago now though, but prices shouldn't fluctuate that much. This includes 45$ for the cost of the plugs (they're 7$ a peice from them, can get for half that online, 3.50ish). Feel free to show them this if you want to try haggle, otherwise don't be afraid to try changing them yourself!

I wonder if they would do just the back three I can get the front ones by myself. Been a while since I had Front wheel drive

Honestly the back ones aren't all that terrible. My issue was just stuff covering it like the wiring harness. The middle back isn't bad and the driver side the pipe can be moved pretty easily.

Speaking of plugs has anyone taken the full 100K mileage per Ford marketing? I am skeptical and would lean towards at very minimum inspection at 50K but I am a bit old school.

More precaution necessary for turbo engines than for N/A engines, I think. But if you drive aggressively and are a long-term-owner type, following a severe duty schedule is better, no question.
