Caddy help.. $800 for plugs and wires?? noo...

[TType84]

My friend's room mate has a 95 eldorado.. he asked me if i would take a look at his car and change the plugs and wires for him.. a shop quoted him $795 for this job.. WTF.

anyone take on this task? anythign special i need to know about? i'd love to make a little extra $$ and help someone save some money at the same time..

any info would be appreciated. also.. apparently it has an exh leak at the EGR.. which they quoted him $80 to fix.. i'm guessing i can solve that problem too.

thanks guys!

Reminds me of the time me and my dad had to change the plugs in his Taurus SHO, that was very irritating having to dissemble the top of the motor just for the plugs.

we are not that bad ... the labor rate is what kills us most the folks in the dfw area are at almost 100 an hour we are just at 67.50 which is decent.
