I would do them for $100 all day long in my driveway, but I don't have to pay for Technician school, Snap-on tools, used oil disposal service, employee benefit burden, air conditioning, etc.
Even on a lift in a good service shop, it's going to take half an hour. There's sixty bucks in labor. The filter/oil probably have direct cost to them of $25 or so. Add in indirect costs and overhead and you're right up there.

The synthetic oil is about $5 a quart and the filters are $6 from any Toyota dealer. The Toyota dealer does mine in about 20 minutes.
If a Toyota dealer can do it and make a profit at $60, so can a Lotus dealer.
This is the kind of crap that makes people buy other cars.
