Ignition Coil Replacement Cost

Ignition Coil Replacement typically costs $83–$528 across economy, mainstream and premium vehicles, including reference parts and labor. One failed coil does not automatically establish that every coil needs replacement.

What’s included

  • Diagnosed coil, connector inspection and misfire verification

What’s often done at the same time

These jobs can share access on some vehicles. Ask which removal steps overlap; related work is not automatically necessary.

Signs you need it

  • Misfire follows the coil during testing or electrical measurements identify coil failure

How shops can pad this quote

  • Replacing all coils without a reason
  • adding full spark-plug labor when access is shared

Questions to ask the shop

  • Did the misfire follow the coil, and are the other coils actually faulty?
  • What findings make this necessary now rather than something to monitor?
  • Which parts, fluids and access labor are already included in the estimate?
