Default 30K mi. maintenance - Asking for trouble?

Any of you been through the 30K mile maintenance with your favorite service dept.? I am dropping my can off tomorrow for several items.. power steering leak, I think I have a broken weld on the left rear exhaust flange..the (L) muffler/tail pipe is wiggling up and down. I also am ready for an alignment (got my new BFG KD's on and thought I would try the Z06 alignment specs.)... I also need new brake pads (bought ceramics a while ago) installed. Anyway it's time for all of the fluids to be flushed and renewed... what about the de-carboning procedure that they do?? I am sure my engine runs rich... so it couldn't hurt?? Any words of wisdom or tips I should be passing along to my service writer? (we get along pretty good)
