Spark Plugs & Ignition Coils — Cranbourne West
Misfiring, flashing engine light, or fuel economy quietly getting worse? Ignition faults are common, cheap to diagnose and expensive to ignore — a misfire can destroy a catalytic converter.
How booking works: to find an electrical fault we book a $374 incl. GST pre-paid diagnostic — a dedicated two-hour diagnostic booking plus a written report, not a free quote, and it applies even if we find the likely fault sooner. Any repair is quoted separately in writing before we start. Already know the exact work you want? Call 03 8782 0711 or ask us to add it to a service booking and we’ll quote it in writing.

Signs you need this looked at
- Engine shaking or stumbling, especially at idle or under load
- Check-engine light on, or flashing (a flashing light means stop driving)
- Hard starting, or hesitation when accelerating
- Fuel consumption creeping up
- Rough running that gets worse in the wet
Diagnose first, fix second — quoted before either
- Diagnostic scan to identify the misfiring cylinder, rather than replacing all the parts and hoping
- Coil, plug, lead and injector testing to find which component is actually at fault
- Correct-specification plugs fitted and gapped, and coils replaced where testing proves it
- A post-repair scan and road test to confirm the misfire is genuinely gone
A misfire dumps unburnt fuel into the exhaust. Left running, it can take out a catalytic converter costing many times the ignition repair. Where the fault isn’t obvious, we book it in for diagnostics ($374 pre-paid fixed minimum — a dedicated two-hour diagnostic booking) — then the repair itself is quoted in writing before anything is replaced.
Spark Plugs & Coils — FAQ
It depends what the testing finds, so we won’t invent a number. You get a fixed written quote before any repair work begins. Where diagnosis is needed first, that is a $374 pre-paid fixed minimum charge (a dedicated two-hour diagnostic booking), not offered as a free quote.
We can tell you the likely causes and what testing is involved — but a phone diagnosis is a guess, and guesses get the wrong parts replaced. Call 03 8782 0711 and we’ll tell you straight what’s needed.
It depends on the symptom — some of these are merely inconvenient, others are genuinely unsafe. Call and describe it; if it needs to stop being driven, we’ll say so rather than book you in next week.
