If you are big into preventative maintenance, you may consider replacing your spark plugs (i.e. tune-up for most newer vehicles) at 60K miles. Waiting till 100K miles would usually be acceptable. If problems show up before that - rough idle, missfires (will cause check engine light), poor gas mileage (gradual decrease) - you might consider it before 100K.
A tune-up may also involve plug wires, rotors, caps... it all depends on your model.

I would have the dealer check your car out. New cars can go 60K to 100K without a tune up, but other things should be done. Plus when you need a tune up be ready for sticker shock, my last Toyota that I took out to 100K was $300 for the tune up.

Tune ups are pretty bogus to begin with. You'll be fine going to 100k. Most tune ups are just so the auto manufacturer can just keep making money off of you coming in, them looking under the hood and saying ok.

This vehicle has full blown computerised engine management and the car will tune itself. These vehicles NEVER require a tune-up only servicing. Jules, Automotive lecturer. Australia.
