30k Service..

You guys recommend I do it myself or send it to a place?

So far I think I can do everything except the brake fluid flush?

If you can do it yourself, you'll save a ton of money.

At 30k miles, u need to clean your induction system. Dealership should charge you about 199$ for it. Then you "should" get a transmission flush. (another 200$) Another option would be to just get your trannie cleaned, wich is only 100$ but regardless of whether or not you do the trannie clean at 30k you need to get the flush at 40k, and than by doing the flush you wont need the trannie cleaned. Saves you 100 bux : )

At 30k miles, u need to clean your induction system(throttle body, etc.). Dealership should charge you about 199$ for it. Then you "should" get a transmission flush. (another 200$) Another option would be to just get your trannie repaired, wich is only 100$ but regardless of whether or not you do the trannie clean at 30k you need to get the flush at 40k, and than by doing the flush at 30k instead of at 40k you wont need the trannie repair anymore. Saves you 100 bux : ) other things you need to do is the oil change, check your batterie, and the air press. in your tires..these things you can easily do

p.s. Acura if anything has a poor transmission.. so i would highly recommend doing the trannie flush.

I think I'm due for the induction system cleaning, trannie & brake fluid flushes since I'm at 37k.

Induction system cleaning is not necessary. The brake fluid flush and the transmission drain and fill would be the best thing to do. Transmission drain and fill will cost a whole lot more than $100 using the right material (synthetic Amsoil). Their is no "30k" service, just minor maintenance (oil change, tire pressure (check TPMS), cabin filter (not necessary), air filter (not necessary, no loss in MPG, just slight loss in power), and a couple of fluids)
