Just do the 60k on your own.

You could change the oil,oil filter,air filter,cabin filter on your own if you know how to jack up the car.

The serpentine belt,spark plugs,fuel filter are something to do if you want to be semi-adventurous.

I would say that changing the tranny fluid was a b*tch and the only thing I'd consider paying someone else to do.
The area that you fill is soo damn narrow. I had to take the fluid from the MT-90 bottle and transfer it into an old empty lawn mower oil container(much more narrow) and pour it in that way.

Apparently there is a small pump you can buy at the local auto parts store that I could pump the fluid in which would make it much easier.
