Default 120k mile maintenance?

Two questions.

1. How much should it cost to get this done by a dealer? If over $350, go straight to question 2.

2. What does this service entail? What does the dealership replace/inspect?

I apologize if this has been asked before.

Alright.

I'm doing the oil tomorrow, replaced the air filter 3k miles ago, and don't have a pollen filter.

I got my gas tank replaced recently as well. What are the chances that they did the fuel filter as well?

And the valve cleaner. Is that some kind of fuel additive?

I doubt they did the filter if you still have the receipt check it and see if they did.

The valve cleaner comes in a can and they run it into a vaccum port with the car running and it burns and burns all theBuild upoff the valves. But not all of them do it.
Some will try to sell you a injection flush.

You can get some sea foam and do it your self.

And double-check to make sure that the timing belt has been replaced at 70,000 miles or within the last 5 years.

If you are reasonably handy with tools, you can do the service yourself with the cost only being the parts and your time.
