How much is the cost for a tuneup on a 2004 Kia Sorento?

Answer 1

I can't say what it would cost at a garage but I just ordered the parts and did one myself and it cost me about $200 for the parts.

3 Ignition Coils $91.40

3 Plug Wires $31.40

6 Double Platinum Plugs: $22.61

5qt 10W-40 Oil: $18.61

Oil Filter: $6.21

Air Filter: $12.61

Total for the parts plus shipping (I ordered the ignition parts as they were far cheaper online): $196.52

I am no mechanic and it took me about 3 hours to do the tune up mostly being that you have to dismantle half of the components around the top of the engine to get the covers over the plugs off to get access. The only tools I used were a metric socket set, plug socket, and oil filter wrench all of which you can get for around $50....far cheaper than the labor would cost you at a garage. The only thing I found you have to be very careful of is the brittle plastic plugs and wire sheilding on all of the electrical components as they will crack and break very easily after near 10 years on the road.
