How tough is it to change out the wires and spark plugs in a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am?

I have a private mechanic who wants to charge me $200 to do this maintenance. Is that a comparable price to what I'd see at a repair shop/dealer? He claims he's working with me and offering a deal.



Your opinion is appreciated.

Well the parts are probably 60 or 70 dollars with platinum plugs and decent wires so he is charging 130 to 140 dollars for an hour of labor.



That is still a bit high but if you have an engine compartment that require a lot of items removed to get at some of the plugs then he is probably about right.How tough is it to change out the wires and spark plugs in a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am?
it all depends on how accessible the plugs and wires are. In my 2000 Intrigue, the front 3 plugs are fairly easy to get to but the back three you either have to be a contortionist or have special equipment. It's worth having a mechanic do it.



$200 sounds like a good price if that includes the spark plugs and wires.How tough is it to change out the wires and spark plugs in a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am?
If you have a 2.4 in it it is very very easy to do plugs. I suggest using bosch platinum +2. they are about 4 dollars a plus and i have them in my grand am gt 2.4. Wires are just a a harness to harness system. Do it yourself just go to autozone.com for the instructions. Tools will cost less than 10 dollars at wal mart for a small ratchet set. good luck.
