30K Maintenance
So I am due for an oil change at about 27,000 miles. The computer says A12 service which would be the 30K full inspection. Do any of you see a problem with me waiting until the next oil change at around 32K and just doing the A1 service for now?

all depends.
what does "due for an oil change at 27k" mean?
does it mean you had one done at 24k?
and what type of oil do you use?
dino, synthetic? brand?
did you change the oil filter at your last oil change?
no, it will not negatively affect the warranty if you wait until a little past
the 30k mark. you don't need the dealer to do the work either. anyone, even
yourself can do it as long as it is fully documented. the warranty needs documentation,
and that is all. it doesn't need a dealer to do the service.
I change my oil twice a year, that is all, reguardless of mileage.
so on my G35s, that means I travel about 7k miles between changes.
and on my TSX that is only about 2.5k miles. but I do it on time, not mileage.
A = Replace engine oil (only)
1 = Rotate tires
2 = Replace air cleaner element
-Replace dust and pollen filter
-Inspect drive belt

I wouldn't stretch to 32k on dino oil.
if you are using the dealer oil, I would do the whole service at 27k myself.
so in your case, now.
better to do it early than late. all the 30k is, is tires and filters.
so just replace the filters yourself, and take the car in to have the tires
rotated and the oil and oil filter changed. and I would do it now.

Make a hole, coming thru!
Do the recommended service when it's recommended, unless you're driving in "severe" conditions (high mountain, towing, lots of dust). Basic things like filter change, rotate & balance, oil change, you don't need to have done all at the same ritzy place unless you like their coffee and customer lounge enough to pay extra for.
