My dad and I both work on our cars, here's what we did:
Me:

1. oil change on both cars
2. Replaced my primary fuel filter
3. Replaced another air cleaner mount
4. Replaced the Short piece of hose between hand pump and prefilter.
5. Had my tires balanced/rotated
6. Refilled washer fluid
7. Cleaned my wheels really really good, now I have to again
8. Continual Rust-prevention work and inspections
I did a lot more in the few months before summer, like my whole motor mount/oil cooler lines project etc...

My dad:
1. Rebuilt the rusted away areas under the rear window on his car
2. Had Valve adjustment done
3. Had boost line replaced (dealer damaged it during valve adjustment)
4. Had two vacuum check valves replaced (car would not shut off)
5. Tire Rotation
6. Wheel cleaning job as well
7. I replaced a couple light bulbs
8. Disabled a/c clutch cable when it seized
9. Continual Rust treatment and inspections...
Hopefully nothing major needs to be done for a while on either car.....
