That sounds like a lot. The plugs are the most difficult part, which may be where the high cost comes from. Filters are not that much, perhaps $30, and an oil change should only be about $30, the same for tire rotation. I would suggest going to an oil change place for the oil change and filters. A tire place, such as Firestone, would gladly take your money to rotate the tires. Not sure where to go to get the plugs changed. Just a thought. Best of luck.
Where do you live?
