My car was misfiring this morning. Quoted 250-300 to fix it. Is the price right?

It's been raining for a few days in the GTA (I see the OP is in Toronto) - therefore the humidity is 100%.
Go buy a can of WD 40 and spray the plug wires and see if that resolves your issue. If so - buy a new set of plug wires and replace them one at a time (one off - one on).

RFD is love. RFD is life. I wish I had an RFDer for a wife.

As an observation, in this circumstance, parts are relatively cheap. New plugs are like $20, a set of wires is like $50 and a new coil would probably be like $50 after mark-up. So, swapping out the principal ignition parts would probably be $120 for parts plus perhaps 1.5 hours of labour. For $300, all-in that car would never need any additional work on the ignition, and the problem should almost certainly be solved.

Hope OP is getting the royal treatment for the quote of $300.
