Spark plug change done on a 5th Gen 2012 Chevrolet Camaro. A shop will charge $150-200 to change plugs. Do it yourself and save money!!! #SparkPlugs #tuneup #Chevrolet #Camaro #ChevyCamaro

It's 2023 and I found more use out of this video than going to the shop and not getting ripped off from a mechanic quoting $200 to start . Thank you !

It costs money to do it for parts and labor you're not getting ripped off you're paying for the convenience of having someone else do it
@TJwasHere929 ай бұрын
The plugs are currently $7 on RockAuto. The shop most likely buy in bulk from somewhere and gets a discount. But even at $42 for parts, 200-42 means the remaining $158 would be labor. $158 for a 30-45 min job is insane lol

@@shanehowe766I agree that no one should work for free or pennies on the dollar. However, I just changed my spark plugs for the first time on this car, and it took so little time, I went in and removed/cleaned the throttle body along with swapping out my cabin filter and intake filter. All easily accessible. Both filters took me 2 minutes. Removing the throttle body took me 3 minutes and cleaning it took maybe 7. Hell I even thought about cleaning my engine while I was at it. Had I paid a shop to do this It probably would've cost me upwards of $400 to $500. A dealership likely would've been more. Mechanics should get good pay but charging that kind of money for such a simple job is a rip off. They cash in on the laziness and/or ignorance of others.

Good video. I recommend using anti seize on the new spark plugs and to also check the gap to make sure they haven’t changed. Also make sure there is grease on the coil to prevent water working it’s way down.

Omg I just finished watching. I have a 2011 I've had for 7 years with 76k miles. The coils or sparks have never been changed. This is undeniably easy. I'm so glad the video was in my feed. I'm doing this on Monday. I was about to pay someone to do this but knew I could do it myself if I found the right video. I'll be back with my results. I know for a fact I can do this after watching this. I'm excited.😂 about to watch so more of your videos to see what else I can do myself. Thannnnnnk You

Arrived looking for explanation to the leak-sound on the passenger side of engine near top/front. Interesting I wasn't alone. I did try testing for vacuum leaks with traditional methods and the engine made no notice of the chem I was spraying around the intake manifold. Not going to panic as car runs great and no codes.
