I have 130k on my Focus ST and was wondering what parts I should change for a tune-up. I called a local mechanic and he quoted me $400 which seems a lil high for me on a tune-up. Maybe you guys can help me out with what parts I can order on my own and just find a shop to go to on straight time. Let me know how much labor is normally involved as well

wow $400? wtf was he going do to start rebuilding the motor?
if you have your owners manual i'd say just follow it, if not then:
-oil change w/ filter
-tranny fluid change
-brake fluid
-fuel filter
-spark plugs
-brakes (if you haven't already done so)
-check the serp belt
-check tires wear/air pressure
do you have the stock intake? if so its time to replace it, if you have an aftermarket clean the filter. pretty much all i can think of
Little bit of show, little bit of go.
