NGK Iridium's CHEAP NOW! at Checker Auto Parts

[Losiracer2]

Hey Guys, just wanted to let you know if you were due for sparkplugs, Checker has NGK Iridum sparkplugs for 5.99 a plug. Normally they're about 12.99 or at least 10 bucks elsewhere. Put them in my accord yesterday and it really helped the idle, it's smoother now, and it seems to shift higher in my auto tranny which helps. They last a 100K miles since they're iridium so it was like why not.

Is Checkers the same as Advance Auto since they have a checkered flag?

Or is that a totally different auto parts store chain

[Losiracer2]

yeah i think its the same chain of stores, Checker, Kragen, Advance, they should all have the same deals i'm thinking.

[js593]

I buy the iridiums at 3,99 each, and regular copper repacements at 1,99... the V power NGk plugs for my car (platnium) are 2,99.... funny eh?

[deevergote]

I swear I paid $4.99 each for Iridium IX the last time I got them.

[Losiracer2]

damn, autozone wants 12.99 a piece.

[deevergote]

I think that's where I got mine for cheap! It's been about 2 years though (I should probably change those, huh? )

the V-powers are copper.
Anywho, I paid $6.99 each for the Iridium IX. The platinums are going for about $12 each, V-powers $2 each.

[Losiracer2]

yeah the guy at the auto store said he junks his every 6 months since the v power's are so cheap. Idk i had about 11K on my stock NGK's and they looked like shit already. so i tossed them.

I was changing the V-powers a little before the spec'd 30k miles interval. I only replaced them because the electrode was worn down past the V groove. I'd regap them about half way through.
