local quality mechanic , friends .. not close but friends , did the 100k on my 2016 Journey for $500 cash , it needed several items done, fluids changes, etc .. long list , fair price I thought ..
On another topic, just wait til all the electric cars pay no road use tax .. then what

My Nissan Leaf (all electric) cost only $13 for the 30K service. They replaced the cabin air filter. That was it. Zero maintenance on these things. My accountant asked me to fill out the paperwork for vehicle expense and I told her that I did. It was all zeros for last year. Zero for gas, zero for oil changes, zero or maintenance. You should have added the electricity to the expense. It still costs to charge it. It does cost money to charge it but the cost is buried in the electric bill with no easy way to pull it out. I figure it costs $3 to fully charge the battery based on the local rate but I don't have any way to verify it. The charging cost is low enough that I never notice it in the monthly bill.

Spark plugs by there self would be about a $300 hob in my shop. I do them in about an hour, my labor guide says 1.8 hrs. A set of 16 NGK platinum plugs runs around $160

Wonder how much it would cost to install a separate meter for the car to see what it uses? There has to be a way to monitor it.

Absolutely and to some extent, critical component. Grid connected, residential solar / wind / voodoo w/ backup battery, generator, xfer switch needs basic power in / out metering to be functional. To be slick is needs to be able to monitor power in from all sources and power out to all loads. Install that first and size your backup based on real measurements. When running on back up, real time load control. Day light generated power stored in batteries charges car over night. I'm down with that system except for the electric car part of it. What I don't charge mine with I'll sell for gas money.
