Does that include labor if they break any?

40 per broken plug sounds like a deal to me.

Just pray they don't break many (hopefully none). That could get pricey quick. It is not a bad price though.

Sounds like a reasonable price to me. I would go for it.

$40 per broken plug is a steel. Go for it. Ask for the old ones to see how they look.

I'm guessing that $40 is if they break them and can extract them with the extractor. Or is it any type of plug break?

My truck is @ the dealer right now. $466.00 for plugs. All the pressure is on them. Even if they have to pull the head. I know they broke atleast one. For the money I hope they all broke. Truck has 112,000 on it.
