The fuel filter I dont blame you, that thing sucks to install. But its easy to do plugs and wires. Just bundle up if its cold, save the labor costs lol.

plugs and wires are SUPER easy, I'd do that yourself (if you'd rather not though I understand that too) I didn't even have tools at my house to do them once so I just went to a pawn shop and bought the wrench, socket and extension for a couple of dollars... I can't imagine the whole job being over an hour for someone who knows what they are doing..... The best thing to do is find a good mechanic and use him for everything, that way in the future for little crap like plug wires he shouldn't "gouge" you....

i agree with Nasty....plugs and wires you should do yourself,,,,,,,,

get some plugs NGK ZFR5F-11 .. and if you can afford it plug wires from the Honda dealer

as for the fuel filter, there is a write up on our DIY section,, read it and see if you entertain the idea of replacing it,, if not a shop should not charge you any more than 30-45 minutes . so depending on their hourly rate , that would be how much it will cost + the filter of course , unless you supply it

If you have any idea how to turn a wrench, it shouldnt take you more than a half hour to do the plugs and wires. I will always do plugs and wires myself, but I dont have the motivation to do the fuel filter. It was about a year and a half ago when I had mine done, but I dont think it cost much, pretty sure it was less than $100.
