only real way to be sure is replace them yourself.Go to auto parts store,purchase plugs and( gapping tool) and adjust gap for your engine size and replace. 30 minutes to an hour tops.
good Luck.Guarenteed savings.

About $40 if it's a four cylinder or $60-80 if it's a six banger.
When they do a "tune up" (modern car this consists of an under hood inspection and new spark plugs) they should also clean the throttle body (this costs extra)and visually inspect the fluids and air filter and hoses and everything else that resides under the hood.
If your'e not sure what to ask for this Christmas; for your model year you could stand to do a tranny service and powersteering fluid drain and fill and maybe a coolant drain and fill, too. Also, the next time you have any brake work done have them bleed the whole brake system.
Good Luck!

Do it your self, it's not difficult. Shouldn't cost you more than $3 a plug that way. You could have it done in less than an hour and save yourself $50.
Just make sure you only disconnect one spark plug at a time. You don't want to get the wires mixed up.

I agree, do it your self. They are easy to get at, and they only cost a few $$ apiece. Do one at a time, then you won't get the wires mixed up. You'll need a 5/8" deep well socket.

do it yourself... it is very simple and all you need is very basic tools... do it when the car is cold so you dont burn the crap out of yourself while changing them because they can get extremly hot.

Not a hard job to do. I always do my own.
