If that's for genuine Bosch leads and plugs from Holen that is about right. You got new plugs at the same time right?

Ripped a new one, no one it would take two hours (40 bux an hour) to change leads, ten minutes at the max.

Most mechanic down here, charge between 40-65 bux an hour, only a couple of places charge more, and they are either specialists, or rip offs where people think you pay more so you get more, but trust me you get less if anything.
I also have a mechanic who i use on occasion as he has a wrecking yard aswell, he charges in stubbies and cans.
