that was the quote. Man!

 

If spark plugs are included I would say its pretty cheap. I got quoted $600, but ordered plugs from sewell for $80 and did it my self.

 

im guessing you have a 250 ??

 

Very possible to just do it yourself.

 

At the dealer or somewhere else? Because that's not bad for a dealer actually lol. Luckily for me, I didn't have them done by the time my car went in for the revised pistons for the Carbon Build Up, so I just had to buy the spark plugs and labor was free since they were working on the motor anyways.

 

^^^ i did the exact same thing.

 

order off sewell with your CL discount and DIY

 

How difficult is it to change the plugs on the IS250????

 

Very easy.. order them and check the DIY section

 

I wouldn't say they're VERY easy. 250's have to remove the intake manifold (I just half-removed it) and reach behind to reach one of the plugs. Certainly its doable. But it took me a couple hours to do mine.

 

Tell the dealer you're having the carbon issues and they'll do the top engine flush and do it while they're in there. You buy the plugs.

 

i paid 200+ (for labor) at an independent mech. Bought plugs from lexus on line.

 

yea i would say do it yourself...its not easy...well 2 of them are pretty hard and you have to remove intake...grab some beers and a good friend and get to work.

 

Thats not a bad price for a dealer. Ive seen prices go as high as $800

 

Im never going to change mine.
