Average cost to change spark plugs?

I own a 2004 Honda civic, does anyone know how much it should cost with labour included if I were to bring it in to a service centre?Average cost to change spark plugs?
would cost maybe 80 dollars.. But, it would be a lot easier to head down to the local Auto Zone, and buy some pre set spark plugs.. It's easy, would cost maybe 28 dollars, if it was 4 cylinder, maybe 40 max, if it was a six cylinder, and that would be a good spark plug. When they are preset, all you do is take the spark plug cover off, get a little socket set, and unscrew the old spark plug. Place new pre-set spark plug in, and tighten, not too tight, but snug enough to stay put... Do this in all four, or six, depending on your motor size...Average cost to change spark plugs?
How do you know you want spark plugs? Spark plugs will last about 10,000 - 40,000 miles, If you have a misfire problem chances are new spark plugs won't cure it, it could be any manor of things. Get it analysed by a professional.
do it yourself, NGK plugs come pre-gapped, and also on the box it tells you how far to tighten it without a torque wrench. all thats involved is unscrewing the old ones and screwing in the new ones
here in the us it cost me about 30 some dollars for my v8 and did it in 10min. I think since 2001 or so cars use coilnpacks on top of the spark plug so the 10min job tuns out to be a 30-45min job
Here in the USA, it would be an easy job. Add the cost of the four spark plugs to one hour labor and you should have a rough idea. Maybe $100 here or 50 pounds in the UK.
It's a 15 min job - Do it yourself - Even putting in a set of Hi -Quality Plugs you should be able to do it for under 拢20.



They would charge V.A.T. also



Best Wishes
If they know what their doing,One hour labor and parts.

labor rate and part costs will determine total cost,Call.
