Where are you ?
Kal tire does them, I think $70 for a set of 4.
But there are many other places as well.

I use the rail on my car hoist to bust the bead then it takes 5 minutes to swap a rubber, I just lift the hoist, slid the rim under until the rail only hits the tire and just lower it, flip and do it again, I can swap a set in a half hour, where's home for you

A piece of 4 foot long piece of 2x6 and a truck works good to pop the bead to. put the end of the 2x6 on the bead and drive the truck up on it slowly until it pops.

I've done my own, once. Lots of swearing, sweat and more swearing but that was on old honda 11 inch tires and rims. Took a long time to break the beads. I just go to my tire shop now. 60 bucks or less if I remember right for the 4.

I was going to do the same thing, but after looking away from the redneck solutions on youtube i decided it was best to get the pros to do it. Found two places in Edmonton, Rapid Revolutions, and Recreation Power Sports. Way cheaper than the dealer, and even less that the tire shop.

What type of quad did you buy and what tires are you putting on it?
