How should I be charged to change plugs and wires?

Several of you suggested (when I bought my '06 GT Vert 2 wks. ago)
to change the plugs and wires.
I bought new plugs and wires along with a K&N oil and a K&N air filter..and 5 quarts of Mobile One.
I asked the owner of a private garage if he would intall the stuff and charge me for the labor.....he wanted $203.00 to install the above. When I questioned him about the price of the labor sounding high...he said the "manual" quotes 1 1/2 hrs. to do a tune-up. I said it doesn't need a tune-up...just change out the plugs and wires! He said ..."That's a tune-up!!!
Is he being straight with me?
If not how much do you think I should have to pay....since I purchased all of the parts above at Advance Auto?

He is ripping you off. If you were closer I'd do it for nothing. If you look at the sticky about the spark plugs, you can do it your self. OK, so you don't have the right tools, for about $40 you should be able to get the basics except for a torque wrench and you may be able to rent one from Advance Auto or some place like that. It isn't a hard job to do even for a novice.

I pay $20 to have a garage change oil, filter, visually check stuff and rotate tires. I take my own oil & filter. I would imagine you should be able to get it done for around $50.

That is a tune up. Shops rip off for a tuneup on the PT. 1 1/2 hours is BS. I can do it in a half hour.

I can do it in 29 minutes or less.

Hey Guys..thanks alot. I have never had much "upstairs" when it comes to mechanical stuff. I have no problems paying someone for his time...but I was pretty sure this guy was "sticking it" to me.
I'll check around now that you guys have put me straight!
