Should I have it "tuned-up" per the suggestion? I'm sure a tune-up wouldn't hurt any car but if the car is running great should I take a pass until something changes?

(btw, it's a summer driver only and I only drive it about 4,000 miles a year)

Thanks
If you don't mind spending $1200.00 for a "tune up" then go for it.
A tune up is a good idea at that mileage.
But a tune up (changing all plugs, coils, perhaps the serpentine belt) and a general inspection of the car. Is something you can do yourself for around 1/4 the cost.
Doing the work yourself also allows you to know your car better.
