Spark plugs are $2-$2.40 each - you need 4 of them. You should use Bosch Platinum spark plugs on VWs. You also need di-electric grease, anti-seize lubricant, and a spark plug socket. I haven't worked on a V-dub, but I know they require a lot of time and specialists for a lot of things - they're way different from U.S. and Asian cars. So I don't know how much a repair shop would charge you. But for a simple Asian car, it would cost $45 (copper plugs) to $70 (regular platinum plugs at expensive places) and 15 minutes. I'm guessing that it won't be a simple procedure, and several rusty screws probably have to be removed carefully to get to the plugs.
To save money, don't go to a dealer, but find a VW/Euro repair specialist (for major repairs/diagnostics). But first, I would ask a reputable local garage if they can replace plugs on a VW Jetta.
