Same answer every time - AutoImport or Autobahn Tuning in Manotick.

Come out to Cars 'n' Coffee when we resume and get plugged in to the community.

On a separate note, what kind of prices indy like Gtek and EU Autowerks are charging in Toronto for changing both?

The solution? Get the plugs via mail order and change them yourself.

I got a quote from gtek a while ago and found it to be very reasonable. However I forgot how much it was.
