For something as simple as spark plugs any shop can do it. iGarage is well known and pretty honest so if they are closer might as well go to them. They also got good rates.

If you're out on the West end you should check out Kosta at KTM Motorworks or Ivo at Columbus Auto.

If they are very familiar which parts need to be removed in order to access to the spark plugs including how to lift up those fragile ignition coils, I will definitely go there.

Any members here changed their spark plugs by them? Any problems?

By the way, how much usually a garage charge for changing the plugs?

I'm starting to get really sick of this question. Call me a troll or whatever but again, quick search and you'll find 100+ threads of the same question, and same answers. And I blame the site admin for not putting a sticky up. I don't care if you don't get money from these shops, is it better to flood the server with useless info ?

Mazinger, I did my own spark plugs. Very easy job.

Only issue I ran into was a seized plug in cylinder 6. A few sprays of Liquid Wrench loosened it up within 5 mins. That was my only set back.

Of course there are extreme scenarios where you could break off your spark plug and or damage the threads. In that case you would need a shop with the right tools to get it done.

Cheers

Has anyone here tried out a DIY Garage?

There is one in Barrie (after a quick google search) called Barrie DIY Garage

Barrie Do It Yourself Garage
84 Tiffin STreet ,
Barrie Ontario L4n-2n1
705-795-0089

A little out of the way. It's $40/hour for lift and tools.

I know someone brought it up a little while ago, but its in the States and diy guys loved it.

I'm curious if we have something similar in the Toronto area?
Anyone dealt with something like this before?
