2010 Lariat, Robinson Bro's wanted to charge me $3,400 for 100k check. $900 to change the spark plugs alone. Any advice on a non dealer to work with in the Baton Rouge area? Someone that can do a comparable job?

Those spark plugs on the 5.4 are a bitch.

Then $900.00 to change spark plugs is fricking ridiculous.

Do they still have those damned individual coil packs on the top of each spark plug? Six of them suck and the other two are almost impossible.

My cousin is a master mechanic at a dealer in NOLA.
He does all my work.
Last visit I had cost me $650
Brake job
New belt
Transmission fluid change
New motor for my driver side power window
Shocks
Can't remember if he changed my plugs though.

260k miles and it runs like a champ.



So happy I got him, especially after hearing this.

Go to Express Care Automotive across the street from Robinson Brothers. Big guy with a mullet named Jason owns the place and is an honest country boy. Does good work for a fair price.

Well is that just a brag post, or are you offering your cousin's info to share so he can make some extra money on the side?

You need to go to the head of the service department with this bullshite and complain they are ripping you off! Call them out on this and go find someone else to quote the work they are saying. I've done this a few times and they backed off and even refunded me some money on previous work.

I actually thought about it. I'll never go back.
