Help with ignition repair costs for my Versa

[techdrivenvers4life]

Hey, my Nissan Versa (2013) is having trouble starting and sometimes stutters when I drive. My repair guy thinks new spark plugs and ignition coils will do the trick, but the quote seems pricey with extra stuff. Anyone else been through this? What's a good price to pay, and do I really need to swap out everything they suggested?

You don't always have to replace all four coils if only one is bad, but a lot of shops recommend doing them together because of reliability. Price wise, a decent shop job runs around $400 to 600, but you can get it cheaper if you buy the parts yourself and just pay labor.

Also, a quick OBD2 scan can usually point to the bad coil or plug before spending on all four. It’s saved me a bunch of unnecessary replacements.
