Pep boys tune-up
Has any of you guys ever went to pep boys to get a platinum 4 tune-up? The reason i ask is because the price isn't bad and i want to get a tune up, they use bosch plugs and i wanted to get feedback on pepboys before i make a move.
Thanks,
Thanks,

what are they charging just out of curiousity. whoever you decide to have do it, make sure they use top quality wires. i believe i used to spend around 9-11 dollars a plug for densos, and i think i used to get the wires for around 69.99 from frpp with dealer discount or something like that . oh they were 9mm wires too my bad

i would go ahead and change the wires and the plugs as its 2006. 7 years is long enough on plugs. i think copper is a little cold for a na mustang, if you were spraying juice copper is good, but not for a stock v8 imo.

The reason i asked that is because i was told that a 99 GT does'nt have plug wires.

Go out pop the hood and take a look. Do you have two packs of four coils mounted on the front of each side of the engine? They're square, and there will be four wires running to each.
