The dealer wants $560!!! for this. Is this a complete rip off? Or am I just not used to having may wallet vacuumed this way?

Is it worth it when I'm only keeping the car for a handful of months?
Plugs should have been done at 45K under the service program. $560 sounds a bit much even at the dealership level. Labor time is right around 2 hours and plugs should be about $23.15 each at the dealership.
