Coil Replacement… They should be ashamed.

Be sure to check for vacuum leaks for hesitation, of course. I had a rough idle and slight hesitation on my 2003 Tahoe and had replaced almost all of the hoses. The brake booster hose looked fine so I didn't replace it earlier, but when I pulled on it I noticed the connection at the engine was loose. I replaced the hose and also the spring clamp at the engine with a stronger one. No more rough idle or hesitation.

The secretary/receptionist/scheduler at my indy mechanic seems a bit confused or annoyed by the fact that I ask for all soft parts [belts, hoses, vacuum lines, etc] to be checked every six months.

If she is a woman, she may not want to be involved with putting the phrase, "check soft parts", on a ticket.

Ok, so I am a little mixed up. You stated you have already "done it", referencing the 8 coils install. But now you say the coils are ordered and not installed yet. I am a trained tech and certified and know a little bit, but I don't think I can remove and replace all 8 coils in 20 minutes and work around some of the stuff in the way. No doubt that you can do it in 20, I just don't think I can, but I am 71 years old too.

I would be inclined to clean the MAF and MAP.

Last time I priced some work at a dealership I told the service writer “ you can shear a sheep time after time but you can’t skin the son of a b—-h but once. And you are trying to skin me” Then I walked out!
A customer that gets a fair deal will tell some of his close friends. A customer that gets a raw deal or feels he was skinned will tell everyone he can about the raw deal he got
