Please just do these yourself.  You should have the sparkplug wire tool
stuck on your hood rod and a simple sparkplug socket w/ extension will do
the trick.  It will take you 5 minutes to do the job.

Just stick with the OEM NGK BKR5EKU plugs (do not get these from the
dealership).  Don't even waste your money on the platinums, since you can
replace these every 30k or so.

Napa sells these for dirt cheap ~$4.xx

I went to my dealer today for a major service...they've got this new
menu,
ant the major service at 90,000 is $600!  Jesus christ?  I got one that
was
$200 less and only is missing the spark plugs.  They were last replaced
at
60K so I need to replace them soon, but I can't do it right now.

How much (parts and labor) should replacing the spark plugs cost?

Thanks,
John
