What is done in a tune up?

My car just hit 100k! I want to take it to a dealership to have it checked on but first I kinda want to know what would be done cause I could probably do it myself. (Plus it sounds like it would be kinda fun =D) So yea what exactly is done in a tune up????

60k

Well... some people forget about it at 60k, so if you haven't done it, a timing belt is a must

you might need to get your fuel injecters flushed if you drive the city a lot, and never dive a couple hundred miles to let your engine breath. you can go to the dealer (a lot of money but more accurate) or get the liqiud at autozone to put in your fuel tank (cheaper version)
