The concept of a tune-up is obsolete. In the old days, a tune-up consisted
of cleaning carburetor, replacing points and condenser, checking and
sometimes replacing the distributor cap, replacing plugs, setting the
timing, adjusting the carb, etc. This had to be done about every 15K miles
up until about the 1980's.
These days with electronic ignitions and fuel-injection, you typically only
need to replace the plugs. I believe the plugs should be changed every 60K
miles on a 98 Avalon.
There are other maintenance items to be done at certain intervals, such as
drain/refill transmission fluid, drain/refill radiator, change oil/filter,
replace air filter, etc, but these may not be considered to be part of a
tune-up. Check your owners manual for the correct service interval for these
items. You are usually better off if you ask for specific quotes on these
items individually since package service deals typically include other stuff
you may not need.
