$700 is more than a oil change and plugs.
I think the dealer charges about 1.5 hours for the spark plug change, or around $200 at around a $130 shop rate. Add another $50-$60 for plugs and you will be in the $260 range.
The $700 probably includes a bunch of other stuff like throttle body cleaning, and/or fuel injector cleaning. Dealers always try to sell these extra services.
