She apparently ask them to do a tuneup because at one point in the past I mentioned I needed to "tune it up aka new plugs, pcv valve filter"

Another reason why I hate automatics and I hate having other people touch my vehicles.
LOL, engine cover? You mean the ghey plastic shroud? Just leave it off, and tell your wife it'll run cooler.

And 3,000 oil changes are a waste of money unless you have a turbo car that sees primarily stop-n-go traffic.

And I wish the phrase "tune up" would go away -- it gives shops an excuse to perform a "package" of services that you didn't need.
