Default Shop for V6 camaro plugs and wires?

Anyone know of a shop with a "reasonable" price for changing plugs and wires on a 98 V6 Camaro? Close to West Palm Beach if possible. I can't find many shops to do it for less then the car is worth. :p

We have got quotes of 500-600..I'd do it for her but im a fulltime student with a fulltime and partime job..kinda rough to get to it when she needs it for work/school. She drives it misfiring everyday getting 55-70 miles per tank. :/ Kinda like an ASAP thing..willing to do it out of a shop as well.

coils were changed..plugs and wires are ones that came with car..car has around 110K. Jimmyblue yes a shop or fellow tech member. LS plug/wire change is a breeze compared to 3800. I tried with available tools and ran out of time and was only able to change 2..I can change plugs on my turbo car in 10-15min..lol. blk/slvr we would do that but the car would hate me :/ its running terrible..wires have to be shot.

We can set ya up with a fair estimate- not usually what we work on but we want to help Tech members when we can.

Call the shop or PM me

I don't think some of you read the entire post. I work a full time and a part time job. I also go to school fulltime year round. There is no such thing as a day off or more than 1-3 hours of free time. So it was difficult to get time to do it, was not stating difficulty. I ended up taking the day of and got the car done. Runs as perfect as my girls 110K mile Camaro will run. :p Thanks for the good responses though. Erik, I will be sending a PM your way about something else though.
