2002+ P's don't have Platinum Plugs? I better check, I guess I just got used to Platinum at 60K on modern vehicles.
I don't trust quick change places to change my oil. I had a friend that was the "pit monkey" at one place. He said it was hectic and things did not always get done...so he didn't recommend it. These place can't figure out I had the 3L instead of the 4L in my truck...I guess I got an extra, free quart out of it...but come on! I can get good oil and change myself pretty quick for less.
And I have trouble getting my tires rotated because of the rear toe-in settings on my ES. Can you move the rears to the front OK before the inside gets too worn (again)?

$29.99 for an automatic tranny service, including new gasket, filter and fluid.
Spark plugs are $10 and about 30 minutes DIY,
$0 for fuel filter since it's just a screen/grating in the tank.
$59.99 for a Valvoline SynPower treatment which is actually more of an intake manifold de-carbonizer than anything else. (I'd say pass on it until 50K)
$12 for a can of BG's 44k Injector cleaner (pour in the gas tank)
$4 for a can of Berryman' Chem Tool (vaporize into the TB)
so all in all I think you should get out of there with about $86-100 and about 2 hours of your time. if you dont feel comfortable doing it, drive it down to Alabama and I'll do it all for $100!
