Hey guys just wanted to hear your thoughts and see if this seemed reasonable. My local service center couldn't find any record of the 60k miles maintenance and wanted to perform it along with some general tune up stuff I wanted done. The 60k maintenance was something to the tune of 1600$ and the spark plug replacement something to the effect of 500$ (as part of my tune up). This seemed a little nutty to me and was wondering if anyone else had similar experiences at any point or if this seemed like normal dealership pricing. Browsing around online I see a lot of people saying it ought to be in the 700-1k range, but I can imagine that being due to different labor costs in different parts of the country.

Anybody can work on your car including you, it won’t void the warranty.
Im not a big fan of “tune ups” on modern cars. There is nothing to tune. No points, no condenser, no carb to rebuild, no dwell to set and no timing to set. That’s what a tuneup used to be. Most of the fluids are designed to go to at least 100,000. Change the oil, oil filter, air filter and cabin filter on a regular basis. The only thing I’d do at 60,000 miles is the spark plugs. They are also a great place to begin do it yourself work on your car.
