A4 service?

Have anyone done the A4 service?
It's A124 indication on a female friend's TSX 2010
She doesn't need item 1 (tire rotation) and item 2 (air/cabin filter replaced) now, just an A (oil/filter changed) and item 4 which is spark-plug replacement.
Can someone please let me know the rough price on it (just for the item 4 as I will add the price for the oil change later)?

Thanks a lot people

I replaced my spark plugs at about 103000 miles. My record has "NGK Laser Iridium ILZKR7B-11S, stock 5787 purchased online at autoplicity.com" I paid $48.74 total for four and did them myself.
I did go to the dealership first and they wanted something astronomical like $160.00 for four. I said no thanks and bought them online.

I've replaced them a few times, at around the 105K mile interval, and I agree that it's a lot cheaper to do yourself. It's not particularly difficult to do, but the job can have a few potential pit falls. The head is aluminum alloy, so the threads of the holes that the plugs screw into (so X4) are vulnerable to being stripped if the plug isn't started properly. Also, they're way down there (the plugs), so the correct tools are important too (and it's not hard to lose a plug or a tool down there). Check around, including a Honda dealer, for an estimate. You might find they're cheaper than an Acura dealer.

Thanks a lot for your feedback, tsx & Simba.
I agree that it's always cheaper to DIY but in this case, I am not living close to her and I don't think I will pay a visit anytime soon. I guess she has to pay more then.
Thanks again, gents.
Happy Holidays!
