Default Tune-up in Eastern PA

I normally do everything myself but changing the plugs doesn't look like a 30 minute job and this is my only vehicle so i cant go a day or more without it if i run into a problem.

I live in Quakertown, pa but I'm frequently in the Scranton area. Is there any shops around or between the two which are familiar with F-bodies to do a tune up (plugs, wires, fuel filter)? How much should I expect to pay to have someone else do the work?

Thanks in advance
Carl

drive down my way and we could knock it out in an afternoon. if not any sponsers close would be my choice but most get $100+ to change plugs.

Feel free to give me a call. We can do it while you wait. We have a waiting room with a flat screen TV and a few leather couches.

It's an hour's worth of work tops. Might be able to find a local board member to help you out for a Pizza lunch.

But, I 've heard good things about RPM. Give them a shot if you don't want to tackle it yourself. Plugs are easy once you know the tricks to them.
