$357 for EGR service

My car has been accelerating somewhat funny. I went to the dealer and they examined the car. They came up with it being a carbon filled EGR system. The soultion would be to remove those deposits and flush the ports. My warranty doesnt cover anything to do with the EGR, and they wanted 357 to do the service. Has any of you had this or a similar service performed? I am leaning toward doing it and also get my spark plugs changed, but i would love some insight. Thanks

I am not the most mechanically inclined person, but if it is simply enough I would attempt to do so. My car has 130k.

I really am thinking and battling back and forth with the option. I still owe about 3 on it though and dont know if I can handle the 400 payment the 03 will get me. Sorta ina no win situation. I am scared to really mod my car or do too much of anything b/c of the tranny shit
