Just an update
I made contact with Laguna Woods Auto Repair

After talking with them, they seem to know what their talking about and have at least 3 other Raptor owners that go there for service.

I have an appointment set for next Monday to get my spark plugs changed , new wires, and oil change.

Last time I checked they don't do any Engine Service.
Bolt on stuff yes

Tired of going to the dealer.
I got quoted from 3 dealers for spark plug change and wires.....
Me supplying the parts
-NGK Iridium's
-Granatelli wires

I got quoted anywhere from $440 - $1400

Got tired of the non-sense

Just got my Raptor Serviced at Laguna Woods Auto Repair.
Top Notch Full Service place. They stated they had a few customers that took their Raptors there for service. 6.2L and the V6 Ecoboost
-Plugs Changed
-Granetelli Plug Wires
-Oil changed
Odometer - 76k
Was considerably cheaper than any Ford Dealership could Offer.
Couldn't have been happier. My Raptor seems to run smoother and a little more umph while on the pedal.
Ask for Fyel Castaneda -Service Advisor
I will be back for Future Service....... this place sounds like the place....for me....for service maintenance.
Bye Bye Ford Dealer.......

He is the one that assisted me

I will be taking my Raptor to them from here on out. Not going to the dealer anymore if I can help it.

I will start doing the Oil Changes myself. I was just lazy
