Is everyone changing plugs every 10k?

[Rob175]

My 98' (5 speed w/91,000 miles) runs very well. I drive about 4,000 to 5,000 SUMMER miles a year and typically get about 27-28 mpg in mostly city and some expressway driving. In the 16 years I've owned the car I've never had a "tune-up" done.

Even though the car appears to run great, my "indi" recommends that i should have a tune up done....he suggests ALL plugs, ALL coils, replace Serpentine belt, Fuel filter and Air filter (I did change the air filter 2 years (8.000 miles ago).....$1,300.

Since the car is running "great" (in my opinion) and there are no thrown codes should I go ahead and get a tune-up or just continue to have fun and drive it and monitor it?
