30K tune up

30K tune up
I'm getting close to having to do my 30K tune up and was wondering if it was worth spending the $600 to have it done at a dealer or should I go to someplace cheaper. Any thoughts?

I believe I only paid around $400 at the Bellevue Honda.
Is it worth it? I think some of the things should absolutely be done, like oil and differential change. Others on the board here have more expert opinions than me though.

What's it include?
Engine oil
Tranny fluid
Diff Fluid
and then everything else is just "inspected" right?
Do you get a valve adjustment, new spark plugs, cabin filter and air filter? For $400 I would hope so?

Valve inspection there's no real need for, but feel free. Sprak plugs there is no need for.

I did it myself. Bought some nice tools for the same price as having the dealer do it. And the tools have saved me a lot of money since then.

$400.00, $600.00? seems like a lot......
And aren't the plugs platinum? They last up to 105k miles (or more). Air filter, a/c filter change; that could be done by yourself, pretty easy to do! Save some money.
