Good morning. I was hoping if anyone could please let me know if the below price seems fair? I've never used this mechanic before but are in my area with excellent and many Google reviews. Spoke to then already face to face and over the phone. They seem knowledgeable and honest but that's just my personal judgement.
My car is with them for diagnostics and they just asked me to give them a go to start with replacing plugs and coil for which they quoted me £197 including labour. Do we have any mechanics on this website or perhaps someone who had the same service done recently?
Many thanks!

I think the coil pack cost in the region of £60-£70 from AutoVaux if I remember correctly. I'd need to check the invoice.
Changed everything over myself. Lift engine cover off, unbolt, remove, replace, re-bolt, engine cover on, job done.
Anything I can do myself I do.
Anything I can't do myself I see if I know someone I trust who can.
Anything we can't do between us gets sent to the garage.
It sounds like they are guessing at the solution rather than knowing.
Thanks!
