So, my local Mercedes main dealer is quoting £350.00 including VAT to change out a set of spark plugs
on a 2014 C204 C63 AMG.Does that sound a reasonable price considering they are a main dealer?

The 6.2l engine in yours has one spark plug per cylinder, you could buy a full set of top-spec plugs for under £200 Inc vat and fit them in under an hour. So, it comes down to how you value your time.
  • * The M156 V8 doesn't require any special tools for this job but you will need torx bits and a spark plug socket if you don't have them already... A suitable torque wrench would be a wise idea too.

https://www.eurocarparts.com/basket Go to Euro car parts,get 8 NGK plugs for £107.92. My local Merc` Ind would probably charge you about £60 to fit them.

Thanks for the replies.
Basically, I'm not that mechanically minded and there is no recommended indy round here.
I'll reluctantly have to pay the main dealer extortionate prices.
