Default tune up

have any of you tried changing the spark plugs on the 250/350? or do any of you recomend a good and not tremendously expensive place to do a tune up and oil change?

They're not due until at least 5yrs/100,000 miles, just like most new cars nowadays..what part of southernCA are you in so people can start posting some recommendations.

I have the same question as this guy I have low miles right only being at 8,000 but I put that many on it in 3 months so it wont take long. passenger side looks easy but the driver side looks like you have to remove the intake manifold to get to them a real PITA!!!
