Maintenance/Repairs

Hi guys. First time posting. Happy to be here.

So, real quick, there is a small auto shop a 2 minute walk from my job… 30 years in business. 5 stars on Yelp. Could be my new go to shop.

I need spark plugs done on my 2006 Ford Escape V6 3.0. I’ve had the car since 196K and is now at 206K. I don’t think the Valve cover gaskets or spark plugs have ever been done. The head of the shop quoted me $220 LABOR ONLY for the 6 plugs, manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets and change out the PCV valve. Its all mostly preventative maintenance and I have all the parts.

What do you guys think? Good deal? He wanted $250 at first. He said the job would take 4 hours minimum.

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
