My Fathers wife, or my step mother I guess you could say has a 2003 Nissan Xterra with 103K miles so my Father just had a transmission fluid changed and air filter changed and new timing belt with tensioner and he figured why it was in the shop he would have new spark plugs put in. Well he bought his own parts and he knows the owner of the garage so he dont mind. So he goes to pick up the truck and the mechanic gives him back 1 spark plug. My Father says whats this? The guy says I charge 250$ to change what he called the spark plug from [censored]. SO my dad called the dealer and they wanted 170$ to change 1 spark plug...
My question is.. Does anyone know a trick or do they sell a special tool to change that 1 plug???
Also why would NISSAN make a car that that its so hard to change 1 spark plug?
The owner of the garage told my father they have to take the hood off the car and the top of the ENGINE and its just a huge job.
I mean why would NISSAN Do that???????????
That seems crazy.
anways... if you know a trick let me know, or if there is a special took let me know...
also if someone can make a special tool just for that job they can make big $
Thanks
