I usually replace the spark plugs every 30K miles on my 9-3 because 60K seems like it is pushing it. It is not that hard on the 4-cylinder, not as easy as the older 4-cylinder cars with the DI Cassette, but no where near as complicated as it is on the 2.8L V6. The plugs are in the $12 each range, ($48 for 4) and it takes maybe 30 minutes to do. The fuel injector cleaning involves injecting the cleaner right into the fuel flow using adaptors and a pressurized source of cleaning fluid like Techron.
$400 seems steep, but you don't know how much diagnostic time they spent on your problem.
