Is your quote fair?
A quote between $182 and $382 is inside the band where half of all Nissan Altima ignition coil replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (a single coil on top of the engine); above it is not automatically gouging (a full set of coils with new plugs, rear-bank coils under the intake on V6 engines) — but both ends deserve a question.
What moves the price
- One or a set — coils fail one at a time, but a set at high mileage avoids repeat visits.
- Plugs with it — worn plugs kill coils — they usually get replaced together.
- Access — rear-bank coils on transverse V6 engines can mean removing the intake.

Bring it to the shop. Ask for the written estimate split into parts, labor hours and rate, and fees — then compare each line. A shop that explains a number above the range is doing its job; one that won't is telling you something too.
