Just to give you an idea. Our tune-ups run around 250$. This includes, cap,
rotor, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and an oil
change if needed. All parts are German OEM spec.

Dont fuck around with non German parts. They have pretty high failure rate.
This means: you stuck, car no start, in the middle of nowhere, @ 2 AM. ;)
