Thanks.....Not sure when they were last done. I'm the second owner and bought it 17 yrs ago.......all I can say it hasn't been tuned-up in those 17 yrs and the last 53,000 miles. (I only drive between 4M to 5M miles a year.

I'd almost be willing to try replacing the plugs and all coils myself but I have no way of raising the car to get underneath.....lol, I used to tune up my cars ....but that was "back in the day" (60's, 70's & 80's).

I suppose I could tell my "indy" to ONLY change the plugs and all coils but I'm sure they would strongly suggest I do more of what they consider to be a "full" tune-up, thus the $1,200 quote.
