I should add that one of the exhaust bolts was broken when I took it in.
If I get enough responses they'll be a histogram at the end of this. Now who's excited?!

yes of course, and if you win that I'd advise you to pass on the first Showcase because there's sure to be a Kia Rio, RV camper or ski boat in the second one.

Then I change my answer to somewhere around $2500

Labor $125 @ 6 Hours for Plugs+Coils = $750
Sparkplug Coils = $600
Sparkplugs $100
Coil Plug Total = $1450

Oil Change 9qt + Filter = $80
.5 Labor = $62
Total for oil change = $142

Fuel Filter = $45
Fuel Filter Labor 1.4 = $175
Total for fuel filter = $220

Exhaust header Bolts = $50
Labor for Exhaust Header Bolts 4 Hours (Guess with extracting a bolt) = $500
Total for exhaust work =$550

Total = $2362

That is just some off the top of my head estimations.
