While I am sure he does good work, this place is WAY overpriced. He quoted me $113 just to install plugs (which I was providing) in my aunts 2006 Kia Rio. I only considered taking it to someone to do because I am very busy right now and did not want to do it myself. But no way I was paying that much for a 15 minute job. I am not paying anyone the equivalent of $450/hr! Hell, my lawyer makes less than that! And just as proof that his price was borderline extortion, I got estimates from 3 more nearby shops too. The highest of these quoted me just $85! I get that mechanics are a specialized trade and they deserve a fair rate. But $113 for a 15 minute job to change spark plugs is almost $452 an hour. I am a web developer and I don't make that much! Instead, I just did it myself. Cost me $27.19 (for sparkplugs and a deep well socket I needed) and 17 minutes of my day (yes, I timed it). In fairness, it might take someone that has never done it maybe 30-45 minutes. But I think its safe to assume that experienced mechanics like these guys have done this a few times!
