I recently had my vehicle tuned up at one of Brake Specialists competitor's where they offer Bosch spark plug tune-ups for all of the vehicles that come into their shops. Unfortunately, Bosch plugs don't play well with my vehicle. After I left the other shop, my vehicle had several misfire codes and barely made it home. I limped the car up to the Parmer Lane Brake Specialists, since it was near my apartment. They diagnosed the misfire issue for me and pulled one of the plugs that was on a misfiring cylinder. They informed me that my vehicle from the factory comes with NGK or Denso spark plugs only. I asked them to please install the correct plugs. They got the parts quickly and did the tune-up correctly for me. It has been 2 weeks and no misfires. I guess the rule is to go back with what the factory used for spark plugs and not take someone's word that one plug brand works for all vehicles. Jesse was the one that did my tune-up and I will definitely bring my vehicle back to him for any other issues.
