Of course, that's always a possibility, and I've yet to hear their verdict anyway. My father has been trusting them for 6 or 7 years, and apparently my brother for some time before that, who is generally a bit switched on when it comes to cars. I tend to make judgements not on first experience, unless it's really obvious, and maybe that's a mistake on my part. But as I said, there was nothing on the bill that you wouldn't expect, and the prices for what there is all seemed about right - they wouldn't gain much by not changing the plugs.
My question stands anyway. A common thing or not? A recent thing or not? It does happen genuinely; as said, seen it myself when working in the bike trade.
