There full of $h!t you dont need to remove part of the motor ask people you know for a good independent shop this repair should be like $80-$100 no more its unbelievably easy were are you located maybe a CL member would be willing to help or have a recommendation for a good independant shop.
This repair should literly take 15-40 mins.
I'm nowhere near GA to help in person. I decided to go through the steps to remove Igniter #7 and take a few pictures to show how it's done! The whole job (remove and re-install) took me around 5 minutes.

I can only make it to the dealers because of my work schedule but the regular indy shop I go to said it would be $225 and the indy Toyota specialist said it would be $325. I'm assuming these quotes include the cost of parts.
This is really a super easy task. No need to remove any cover to access igniter #7, since it's the last cylinder on the driver-side and is out in the open. Installation of replacement igniter is in reverse order of the steps. Please let me know if you have questions and good luck!

Thanks a ton! You just saved me a lot of time and money.
Yep. RKW to the rescue one again, and going above and beyond the call of duty! lol
I'd add 2 steps to his writeup. Very first step is I'd put on some rubber gloves. The LAST thing you need is to get some dirt/grime/grease under your nails. (A guy, it can be 'cool'. A gal, not so 'cool'.)
Also, I believe once everything is done, you'll probably have to disconnect the battery for a few minutes to clear the code. I don't think the code will clear on it's own.
Aww, heck, let's ask an authority. RKW....since she doesn't have an OBD2/scanner to manually clear the code, will the code clear on it's own or does she need to disconnect the battery for a couple minutes?
I've had good luck with playing the price-match game with my local Lexus dealership. Once the dealer quotes me a price (always higher than the online price), I would call up the web page on my phone to show the online price and ask him/her to match.

Good catch, LS430inDE... Disconnect the negative battery cable for a couple minutes to erase the error code.
