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.

There is no reason to replace a coil unless it fails. My 2000 S has 140K miles with all oe coils except for 1 because it had a loose boot & The cost of a new boot was almost as much a"coil assembly". New Spark plugs will help anytime.
