Great and cheap upgrade for S430

I just replaced my spark plugs on my 2000 S430. It has 115K miles on the car and the plugs made a huge difference. I went to a local shop in Los Gatos, CA and had him install the Bosch Platinum quad plugs and it took him about an hour. Around $350.00 including quad plugs. The original/replacement ones that came in the car are single Platinum Plugs. It a nice and cheap upgrade, really worth the while. My car has a smoother pickup off the line and low end torque speed pickup. Just a thought.

If any of you live in the Bay Area, CA and would like to get them replaced for $350 (inc labor and parts) then the address is Los Gatos 76(corner of Winchester + Blossom Hill Rd) and ask for Sam. Tell him Jay sent you. Please note I am not advertiseing I am just sending you to someone who did a good job on my car.
