The local Hyundai Dealer wanted to do the following at 15k miles on my Tiburon ,manual, for $600; I didn't even argue and walked out silently.
· Change engine oil & Filter
· Install JB Maintenance Kit
· Includes: Fuel Save, Friction Modifier & Deposit Control
· Check & Fill all Fluids
· Inspect and Adjust Tire Pressures as needed
· Lubricate door hinges and hood latch
· Rotate Tires
· Multi Point Inspection
· Replace Air Filter
· Clean and Adjust Rear Brakes
· Transmission Service (Drain and Fill)
· Perform Coolant Service (Drain and Fill)
· Perform Battery Service
· Replace Cabin Air Filter

The battery "service" + lubing the hinges and latch + checking all fluid levels is worth 600$ alone. Can't believe you man!!!
