Our Spark Plug Service

At Bill & Walter’s Garage, we provide expert spark plug replacement and inspection. Here’s what you can expect:
  • Mechanics examine each spark plug for physical wear and tear, such as erosion on the electrodes or cracking in the ceramic body.
  • They check for carbon buildup, which can affect ignition and fuel efficiency.
  • The spark plug gap is measured to ensure it meets the manufacturer’s specifications for proper ignition.
  • The old spark plugs are removed and replaced with high-quality options (e.g., NGK, Bosch, or Denso, based on the vehicle’s requirements).
  • The correct type of copper, platinum, or iridium spark plugs is chosen based on the engine’s design and performance needs.
  • The spark plug wires and ignition coils are examined to detect any damage, corrosion, or faulty connections.
  • If necessary, damaged components are replaced to prevent ignition misfires or engine hesitation.
  • The spark plug gap is adjusted (if needed) to match manufacturer guidelines for efficient combustion.
  • The spark plugs are installed using the correct torque settings, ensuring a secure fit without overtightening, which can cause damage.
  • This step ensures smooth ignition, improved fuel economy, and better engine response.
