Is it really a 5.5 hour job for labor to replace the plug wires on a 2003 Mercury Sable. A local dealer wants me to pay just under $700.00 for parts and labor. The parts are 155 for wires and 54 for the plugs. The rest is all labor the net before taxes was $684.89. I do not know what to do I can not afford that bill. Plus the can not fix the the rest of need repairs that are covered under warranty without the plug wire to let engine run smoothly. What to do????? Please Help ! ! !
Go to another dealer and get a second opinion.
I would also suggest getting quotes from non-dealer repair shops for the spark plug & wires replacements. Then have the service manager explain why they are charging you $500 MORE than the others.
Have these repair shops quote using Motorcraft brand parts - that way the dealer cannot use the quality or brand of the parts as even a partial excuse (I use Motorcraft myself when doing my own work).
You're being scammed...

By any chance did you take all the spark plug wires off at the same time? Are you sure that you have the firing order correct?
