My bottom hurts

Because I feel like someone is trying to rape me....
Went to motor factors today and got quoted £92 for a set of spark plugs for the prelude... is this right or am I loosing my mind?
Fairly sure they're around a tenner or 20 per plug and I'd expect to pay 90 with fitting maybe... but dear god...
I got told that's for a cheap set of "champion" plugs and the NGK are around 130
I told the guy in a nice way to PO but seriously... what....

Yep, that's expensive!
You could get a set of Spoon plugs for that price you were quoted for ngk!

ngk are £10.99 each from eurocarparts, or Denso £11.49

Just looked up a bill for my Soarer from six months ago, my garage charged me £58 50p for 8 NGK inc fitting. How he did that and made a profit I don't know. I saw the plugs and fitting so I know he did it. Look around or buy from Nathans link.

You won't notice any difference between Iridium and platinum. Iridium are cheaper, but don't last as long as platinums.
