What are you guys paying to get the spark plugs changed on your 3.7s? What mileage did you do it at also

I would first determine what kind of plugs you have which will determine how much you will pay for parts at least, copper are the worst my brothers 08 had those in them from the factory, and at 100k they were pretty much shot we just replaced them our selves and it took about 1 hour and 30mins maybe more but we did the plugs and wires. If you have platinum or iridium plugs which are the better and best they theoretically will perform better and last longer but are a little more expensive autozone usually has some good mail in rebates for them I got 6 iridium autolite brand for like 2 bucks a piece when I changed them in my Pontiac a couple months ago when they were normally priced like $7 each and my brother got a $10 gift card when he purchased 6 iridium for his 08 mustang. When I replaced mine in my pontiac at about 140k miles they were totally shot I would say I was driving on 5 cylinders for awhile now. The symptoms listed above by the other people are accurate in my experience. I would also replace the wires if your willing to pay the extra bucks but maybe thats just me it is not absolutely necessary. If your relatively handy with tools and know a thing or two about engines you and a friend should be able to do it pretty easily and save some big bucks on labor cost, there are videos on youtube that should help.
I got a 2011 v6 with 14.5k miles on it :dance:
$280.00 is not a bad price at all when you take into account the price of intake gaskets, plugs and labor. Labor alone is probably $110 an hour or higher. Recon stated 2 hrs. He would know. That's $200 right there. I do my own work but if I didn't I'd pay 280.
Shop labor hours are astronomical. I just paid $700 for a new rear main seal and trans install on the Grand Cherokee. ...and I provided the New transmission, gaskets, and fluids. All of the cost was in labor only.
In hindsight I should have replaced the transmission myself. I have the tools. I didn't want to lay on the ground
to swap the transmission.
I basically paid NOT to do an easy job.
