Default ?Service @ 60k???

What comes along with the Tune-Up at service for 60k miles on a 5th gen?
Has anyone gotten it done at the dealer, if so how much they charge you?

That's crazy that there still some 5th gens around just hitting 60K miles.

my 5th gen has 71 on it. I bought it last year with 47,300 on it.

Change your timing belt, balance shaft belt, water pump, power steering belt and compressor belt, spark plugs, distributor cap, distributor rotor, pcv valve, fuel filter and air filter, and all your seals. (balancer shaft seal, crank shaft seal, balancer shaft retainer kit and I think there is one more.)
I also changed all my fluids, brake, oil, flush radiator, clutch fluid, tranny fluid. My car was extremely happy and purred like a kitten.

^there's no need for a timing belt sevice at 60K. just basic maintenance like plugs, check brakes, and fluids.

I bought my 96 Accord last year with 47,000 miles and now have 87,000 (highway) miles. All I've done so far is flush and refill trans fluid, flush/refill coolant, new air filter, new spark plugs, and switched from dino oil to Valvoline Synthetic at 60,000 miles. That is the only maintenance I have done thus far, and the car performs like a dream and has been very reliable. In about another 3-4,000 miles I am having the timing belt and water pump replaced as well as the accesory belts. My hoses are in perfect condition, and the engine has no leaks whatsoever (or any residue around seals) So I see no reason in having them replaced. Spark plug wires should be good for the life of the car, my 91 LX still had the original wires at 275,000 miles. That's about it. I still have the original brakes and fluid, original muffler, and the original battery was just replaced last week.
