I bet good money they don't honor that price. Each spark plug for an FR-S is ~$20 and the service manual says you need to lift the engine. Makes sense when each spark plug is <$10 and it takes all of 15 minutes to change them with hand tools, but a shop should charge at least 1 hour of labor plus retail parts cost which would be $200. Took me ~4 hours in my garage but I'm an amateur.

If they do charge the lower price ask to get your original spark plugs back, a shady dealership might charge and not do the work...

I will ask them to give me the plugs so we can see just how they look after 98% highway driving for 3 years.
I very much look forward to what you think.
