I’ve been noticing over the past couple of weeks that my 2018 Nissan Altima has been feeling a bit sluggish, especially when I’m pulling away from traffic lights, and the fuel economy has taken a noticeable dip which is painful with current petrol prices. The engine idles a bit rough too, almost like it’s stumbling, and I’m pretty sure it’s due for a spark plug change because I checked the service records and they’ve never been replaced since I bought the car at 40,000 kms. I’ve been putting it off because I thought it would be a hassle, but I can’t ignore it anymore because the car is starting to feel like it’s working harder than it should. I’m looking for a place in Abu Dhabi that can do it properly and use good quality plugs, because I’ve heard that using cheap ones can actually make the problem worse. A colleague at work mentioned a workshop in the Musaffah area that offers a Quick spark plug replacement in Abu Dhabi, and I’ve been considering giving them a call to get it sorted before the summer heat makes things even worse. Has anyone here had their spark plugs changed recently and noticed a big difference in how smooth the car runs afterwards? Also, roughly how long does it take and what should I expect to pay for a decent set of plugs and labour?

Those symptoms do sound like they could be related to worn spark plugs, especially if they haven’t been replaced in a long time. A rough idle, slower acceleration, and reduced fuel economy are all common signs. Once the new plugs are installed, many drivers notice smoother engine performance and better throttle response. It also makes sense to have the ignition system checked at the same time to rule out any other issues. I recently came across https://autocruze.com.au/, which has useful information about vehicle maintenance and inspections. Keeping up with regular servicing can often prevent small problems like this from becoming more expensive repairs later on.
