Spark Plugs
I have an IS 300 F sport. Need spark plugs changed. Lexus point of contact told me I need them changed every 60k. Will I be able to go to Autozone and buy spark plugs and have them put it in for cheap? I was quoted $600 which sounds steep.

I was told at the dealer ship, that it must be done at the dealer ship. Is this true. Or did they just say that to get my money? I wanted to buy the spark plugs at autozone and take them to Lexus, but Lexus forbid that.

You can have any shop do the work. I don't know what the dealership is on about. Having the dealership do the work would be a fine idea, but probably not worth the money.
Personally I would just order the OEM Denso plugs and have the work done somewhere else.

You can do it for much cheaper and it's not hard. You can order a set off eBay which will be much cheaper than the store or dealership. Then get some tools for the change (there are a lot of guides on how to do this) and be done with your day in about 30 minutes.

It's not a difficult job, but the reason the dealer wont install your parts is simple. If you buy the parts from them, they come with a warranty, as well as their labor is warrantied. If you bring your parts, neither one of those will come with a warranty, and if there's ever an issue, you'll try to blame the dealer, and its just a headache they're probably trying to avoid. Cant blame em.
The parts are relatively inexpensive, and if you've ever turned a wrench before, you shouldn't have an issue.
