The fuel injection service can be useful if it is needed--in other words, are you having some kind of problem that the service will address? Otherwise, just use top-grade gas from Shell and Chevron, and run a bottle of Chevron Techron Concentrate Plus through a full tank. That'll take of care you and cost 8 bucks. Brake pads should be replaced when you have 10 - 15% of the original thickness remaining. Not sure what mm that would be for you, but you can ask the shop to put it in those terms.

thanks for the answer... I had 10% left on my brakes and I found this out from taking it into an independent shop.. Funny how the DEALERSHIP DID NOT address this issue w/me!., oh well, they lost business... I had 5mm. which was equal to 10% ...

Well, 5mm is NOT equals to 10%. It would make a 5cm (2") thick brake lining. OE brake pads has a little indicator plate riveted to it, which makes an annoying squailing sound - even without applying the brakes- when it reaches the brake disc. This way you will know it's time for a brake service, without damaging the brake discs. Good quality premium fuels, like Shell comes with additives, however I do use a can of BG 44K system (it's one of the best) cleaner at least once a year. What I find to be more important than EFI service is a good induction service - due to PCV vapors and EGR gas entering and deposits to intake manifold.
