I was talking to my new subaru mechanic the other day, and I told him that while I knew very little about working on cars, I have a friend who does all sorts of work on his Saturn. I told him we were going to change my spark plugs, and he suggested that I don't do it on my own because they're hard to change on my particular engine (I have a 1997 Subaru Outback 2.5L). I think he said they were hard to reach because of their location.
He's changing my timing belt, accessory belts, and putting in a new water pump next week. Should I just let him change the plugs then?
Can someone ballpark me on how much just the installation of the plugs would cost?
Or should I just ignore what he said and do it when I visit my friend in two weeks?
Thanks for the help.
