I'd do my own work if I could, but I don't have the tool that flushes the fuel system nor the time to flush the coolant system. I'm doing the spark plugs, air filter, and other small things myself though.

Definitely over doing it there. You can put those things off until 100k miles. (except for air filter, etc) Most new cars don't require spark plugs or even a tune up until 100k miles. And most manufacturers tell you to go 5,000 or more miles between oil changes.
