you guys think its worth $400.00 for the 30,000 mile tune up? or should I just do it myself? I would say I have the tools and knowledge to do it. Its just the time it will take to do this.

$400 is way too much! Do it yourself instead.

look at the owner's manual.

It is just valve adjustment, MTF change, LOF, some inspections.

do it yourself.. if you have the knowledge i'd definately do it myself... my car hasn't seen a dealer since its warranty expired.. and i have done all the maintenance and repairs myself.. save the $400.. thats what i would do..

i just keep all the fliers they send me in the mail w/ coupons/discounts on services which states what is done on the maintenances.. then each time my car hits a certain mileage.. i take one of those dealer service fliers up.. and make sure i do all those. .then toss it..

Ya I think I will just do it myself. Its pretty simple. just have to check all the fluids. Bleed the brakes, clean the TB, change the fuel and Air filters, change the transaxle lube, and adjust the valves.

I'm not quite sure how to adjust the valves tho. Any tips on that?

you could do a search of the archives.. i kno i've done a type up of how do to a valve adjustment.. but then a picture is worth a thousand words.. so go to this link
if you need more help.. search the archives.. i kno I have typed up the procedure and so have others.. but yeah.. 30K maintenance is pretty easy..
