Well, I have never reused a gasket and don't know of any shop that will do it. I wouldn't myself just because it is cheap enough to replace. Now, if you had to pay to get it done again, you'd be paying for the labor. Same as if you did it yourself. It is still your time to go in again. Yes, you can go in again but why do it? Now if the plugs are newer, say with 10K on them, I would probably replace the bad one. I tried that with the plugs when I had a bad one recently. A month later, I found myself replacing the next one. At that point, I just changed the remaining 5.
