I call bullshit that the threads are supposedly "Too Blown Out". Of course they are blown out because that's why the spark plug shot out in the first place.
Having the threads Too Blown Out is literally impossible because you need to drill a bigger hole into the head and then re-tap for the helicoil or time sert. So, even if the threads were completely gone, it doesn't matter because you're going to be drilling a bigger hole anyway.
Dude, you don't need a shop because it sounds like they all have their heads up their asses anyway giving you shitty advice. Do yourself a favor and watch my video. You can do this job all on your own. Trust me. It's not rocket science.
