Hi guys. New here.
I have a 2008 Si with about 65k miles, completely stock save for a K&N air filter. As far as maintenance, I do oil changes when the oil meter reads 15% and air filter "recharges."
I did a search for routine maintenance and couldn't find anything. I went to the dealership for an oil change. I got a call from the service guy who suggested to me a brake fluid exchange(flush) for $75, valve adjustment for $185 and a fuel system service for $130.
I had them do the brake fluid but had them hold off on the other two so I could look online and do some research first.
I will say that cold starts on my Si take a bit longer than before.
Advice please? Any would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Pictures of what? I just want to know if doing a valve adjustment and fuel system service is worth it.
Thanks.

Seemed early for a valve adjustment. Fuel system service to me has been a rip off. I don't really see any cars that need it. Just something they upsell.

Brake fluid flushes are very common. I think most cars have fluid flushes ~ 30k miles for brake fluid.
