Exclamation Spark Plug Replacement Cost

Friends,

I am wondering what is a reasonable labor charge to have spark plugs replaced on the SC430. I am planning to use an independent non-Lexus mechanic and install Iridium (3297) spark plugs which I got from Advance Auto Parts ($72 for a set of eight).

Thanks!

Two hours of labor. Lexus Dealers will charge $200. If you can get for $150 or less that is a great price. I paid $125. You can DIY if you want too, they say it's easy.

I looked at it and quickly decided this is not a job I could do. Look like my mechanic will get the business.

I put in NGK Iridium plugs, I paid about $100.00 for them and fit them myself. I think Lexus Australia will change a good $400.00 or more to do the plugs.

I had a look under the hood and saw that I don't have the correct tools or knowledge to attempt this myself.
