When replacing the spark plugs can you just swap them straight away or do make sure the gap on the plugs are right, I ask beacuse the last time I got them replaced the guy just swapped them.

The gaps are supposed to be checked before they are installed.They may be ok from some makers, but does no harm to check.

Gap should be checked but with modern ignition systems the car should still run fine even with the wrong gap. But yes, check gap to do it right
