The shaded middle is where half of all these repairs landed: $171 – $350. A quote inside that band is normal. Cheaper or pricier isn't automatically wrong — but it's worth asking why.

What this repair is

Each coil turns battery voltage into the spark that fires a cylinder. A failed coil means a misfire you can feel — shaking, lost power, flashing check-engine light. Shops often replace the spark plugs at the same time, since worn plugs are what overwork coils in the first place.

Is your quote fair?

If your quote lands between $171 and $350, it's inside the range where half of all real Ford Escape repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 1.4 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
