I just opted for the oil change along with the usual inspections and adjustments for $80.

They wanted to charge $160 to add the filter services (parts altogether are only about $50). Better to just do that 2 min job yourself...

my car doesn't even have a cabin filter...
and yes you should change your air filter, sounds like a good idea to me ! :D
depending on when last you got an alignment, it might be worth it. if your car pulls in either direction, it's worth it in my opinion.
I'd have to say, the best thing I bought with my car was the 2 year maintenance plan. saved me quite a bit, and I can show up and walk out without paying a dime for regular maintenance.

Alot of ours didn't for some reason. It's a good idea to get one if you live in a warm climate with allergens
