30K miles service

My stealership asks about that much for the 30k. However, I would only pay for a brake fluid flush.
I did the rest myself: air filter and cabin filter are easy to get at, as is the oil and filter. There is no tranny drain and fill to do at this point, there is no power steering fluid anymore, I can rotate my own tires, and the coolant is good well past 30k. I swap out wiper blades every year anyway, so take that off their to do list as well.
On these big "scheduled" service periods, you are paying mostly for the convenience of not having to do it yourself. If you opt for them to do it, get a loaner and take a long day trip--use up their whole tank of gas.
