Default Spark plug change mechanic price

Is $140 a good deal for the labour in Toronto?

They say it'll take two hours (several mechanics said this).

I'm not sure if I should learn from the ground up and do it myself or just pony up the $ and move on.

I tried the DIY on this forum..... the one with "Huge" pics.... but tbh it was awful.... it had like 3 steps. I tried other DIYs on other forums and it looks like a hell of a job......eve the mechanics I asked said they haven't done a 350 in a while, but they would have to remove a lot of parts to get to the plugs.

Any input on a fair price?

Here is a DIY thread on G35Driver.

The OP stated it took 1 hour so 2 Hours might be a bit of overkill, but if they are not familiar with this engine it's not outrageous.

Give Ed @ Automatrix a call. He's is in the Keele and Lawrence area. His prices are hard to beat, and service is top notch.

Got $140 from my guy for 2 hours of quoted labour and $360 from Nissan for 3 hours of quoted labour.

So I decided to do it myself and did it in 2 hours. Cost = One medium double double.
