Subaru scheduled maintenance?

Subaru scheduled maintenance?
Hi, my WRX wagon is up for it's 30,000 mile service and my wife's 99 Legacy wagon is up for 60,000 mile service. Our dealer want's $500 for this for each car.
I guess I have a few questions:
1. What the heck do I get for $500? I'm almost certain I could get the same for less elsewhere and/or do some of it myself.
2. Does my WRX warranty require I get this service through Subaru? I hate to admit it, but my dealer sucked me into an extended service plan - not Subaru's. The Legacy is out of warranty so it doesn't matter here.
Of course I can and will check on all this with the dealer, but I thought I would start here at i-club to see if others had any experience and/or knowledge to help me out here. Thanks in advance!

Well, it seems here is what you get for the $ - lot's of "inspecting" with little mention of fixing anything that is inspected...

Then again, if they do find anything, I am still under the Subaru warranty...

I would suggest doing the 30k services yourself and recording them on my.subaru.com Then wait another month or two for the flyer you should get in the mail with a coupon for a free or discounted "winter inspection" and take it in for that.
