Spark Plug Change

I'm looking for an auto shop in the bay area that won't gouge me for a spark plugs change. I have seen the DIY videos, but would rather just save the time. Does anyone have experience taking their car in for spark plugs?

Doing it yourself is not bad at all just take your time and have the proper sockets/wobble extensions. The first time I did them for a friend took me 1.5 hours or so, but the next 2 spark plugs jobs I was able to get it done in a little under an hour.

I'll look into that. Any tips on best sockets/extensions to get?
