Default So called Pep Boys for quote

for plugs change for the F . . .1,000. 8 hrs labor got to pull the intake manifold.

What a bunch of bull. I know I saw a DIY takes a couple hours dont have to pull anything except battery and maybe move couple items around a little.

Funny thing is asked for quote on wifes IS250 which you do have to pull intake manifold and he said 350 with plugs.

lol at pepboys. your next thread would be " please help, Pepboys messed up my car"


i took off the engine cover the other day. plugs look like a simple job. the two rear cylinders, just have to relocate a few things in the way but i would tackle this myself easily. for a mechanically inclined person, its simple.

I bring my ISF to a particular Pepboys near my place because the tech that works on it owns an ISF as well and has built many cars. I have only brought my car there for an oil change though.

I wouldn't even let Pepboys touch my 12 or 10 year old Lexus with a 10 foot pole, forget about letting them touch an IS-F.

LOL, saw a thread about their famous 'engine flush' a while ago. Engine blew up a week later!

Only a sucker would remove the intake manifold. I did a complete valve lash inspection and sparkplug swap without ever touching the intake manifold. Details are here.
