RE: Sparkies

After my warranty expired, I've done most of the service work on my GLX myself.
I'm not sure what's included in the 90k service, but almost everything up to 60k
(where I'm at now) I can do myself.

As for your spark plug question, I bought Bosch Platinum 2's for $4 a piece and
installed them myself, so $25 total.  Platinum 4's are about $6 each and the stock
NGKs are about $7 I think.  But I've heard of dealers charging up to $16 each for
the NGKs.

I went to my dealer today for a major service...they've got this new menu,
ant the major service at 90,000 is $600!  Jesus christ?  I got one that was
$200 less and only is missing the spark plugs.  They were last replaced at
60K so I need to replace them soon, but I can't do it right now.

How much (parts and labor) should replacing the spark plugs cost?

Thanks,
John
