Oil change. Rotate tires. check tire pressure (including spare if you've got it). top up washer fluid.

Get a jack, some stands, and learn to do it yourself is my advice. Saves a lot of money and it's good quality time with your car.

$125 for changing oil, rotating tires, and "inspecting" adding additional fluids as necessary.

eh. a decent jack and some stands, plus an oil drain pan, a case of oil, a new filter, and crush washers could come out to be over $125

But then you'll be able to do the next oil change, and all the following ones for less then 10 bucks.
