maybe "screwed" just a little, but like flavor said - not a lot you can do about it now. i'm pretty certain my regular porsche indy shop would have charged around $500 for the same stuff.

the plugs themselves should cost about half of that. i assume you know how to replace the plugs so you could have saved the $ on labor, but like you said time was limited.

price of the belt was closer - stick with the OEM if you can based on anecdotal evidence the aftermarket ones have been known to slip. but the labor was high. it's a 20-minute job max, including just getting to it, but i don't know of many places that charge by the minute...

fuel filter. i paid $85 (labor only) to have mine done by a local non porsche shop in town. i brought the filter ($35), showed him what needed to be taken off, moved around and how to do it, he did the actual work. that was 23k miles ago.
