Tune-Up?

[tbonebuggs]

How much does a tune up usually cost for a 2000 Camaro V6? Like changing spark plugs, cleaning fuel injection, pcv valve, and all the major things.

To do it yourself? or pay someone else?

A shop cause I don't have the time to do it myself right now.

No one knows because everyone does it themselves...:D One of my students has a Camaro and I think he said it was like $150 or so.. that was just for the plugs though.

It's not worth it IMO. Like Shirl said, $150 for plugs, then add in an oil change, tranny flush, wires, oil filter, etc, and you start racking up numbers. Or, for about $150 you could do everything yourself one afternoon. So, pay let's say $500 for a shop to do it all and not know if they actually did it all (it happens), or take a day off of work and do it all yourself the way you want to. You may loose $150 or so by taking the day off of work, but you save $350 by doing it yourself, so.....

I guess you guys are right I might have to do it on one day after work or something.

your money will stretch alot further if you DIY, then you can replace more stuff and use the parts you want too

Yeah just because our plugs (if you dont have headers :) ) are a PITA shops will charge and arm and a leg, It'll will be frustrating, but to save a few hundred bucks, I'll be frustrated
