Well if you want to save your self C note do it your self. They can be tricky they are on the rear sub frame to the right of the diff. You will have to take the heat sheild off to get at it.

Do a search and you should be able to find a right up about it.

the fuel filter is right above the diff, so it is hard to get to it but it can be done... I did mine in the garage on jack stands while I laid on my back... for me it was worth the trouble to do myself, because after I took it off, I just relocated between the rear subframe and the gas tank... this will make it easier to change next time in about 5min...

I would just do it yourself. It really is not that hard. The first time I did mine it took me about 2hrs. There are some good "how to's" on here that can tell you just how to do it.
