I own a Honda and have realized the spark plugs need to be changed. As I’m not skilled in car maintenance, I plan to take it to a mechanic for the replacement. I’m curious about the average cost I should expect for this service.
Hi Danielle,
Replacing spark plugs in your Honda at a professional mechanic’s shop typically ranges between $115 and $200. This cost encompasses both the spark plugs themselves and the labor charges for installation.
Here’s a breakdown for a clearer understanding:
- Parts Cost: Spark plugs usually cost between $5 to $20 each. The total cost depends on your Honda’s engine type, which determines how many spark plugs are required (generally four to eight). Therefore, for the parts alone, you might be looking at an expense ranging from $20 to $160.
- Labor Cost: Replacing spark plugs is not an extensively laborious task. Typically, it might take about one to two hours of a mechanic’s time. Labor rates can vary significantly based on location, but an average cost is around $30 per hour.
Keep in mind that these are general estimates and prices can vary based on your specific vehicle model, the type of spark plugs required, and regional differences in labor rates. It’s always a good idea to get a few quotes from different mechanics to ensure you’re getting a fair price.
Drive safely!
