How much?!
Just got back from the Toyota dealer.
Wanted to get some service done to my gs350.
All I wanted was the spark plugs replaced(I supplied)
and the writer says it’ll be almost $300 JUST FOR THAT
I almost told him to kiss my asterisk,but was calm and just asked for my car back.
Just how difficult is it to replaced the plugs in this car?

I mean at dealer rates that’s around 2 hours? Doesn’t seem unreasonable, it’s not like $300 is a kings ransom. I’m surprised they are willing to accept your parts. That being said DIY is very simple, remove the air intake tube for the passenger side, and push a wiring harness aside for a drivers side. Can do the entire job with a 10/12mm socket, an extension, and spark plug socket.

Lexus dealer wanted $400 here.
Plugs on Rockauto, about $70 bucks (don't buy cheap ones, there are fakes around).
It is relatively easy. There are some Vids on YT for this car. I like using a Torque wrench, I believe it is around 17 ft/lbs or so (double check that).
$300 sounds like a lot, but if you don't know what you are doing it could be much more expensive :lol:.
