Ignition Coils - HELP!

Dealership said my ignition coils need to be replaced. They want $438 for six coils and $240 for labor. I'm wondering if they're ripping me off, with either the coil - $73 per coil, or for the labor. I'm wondering if I can buy the coils at autozone or someplace and replace them my self. Is this hard to do yourself, or should it be done by the "professional's"

You're getting ripped off on both accounts -- a set of 6 new coils can be had for just over $300, and the labor is free, you can do it yourself, it's not tough.
