+1 on DIY... The only thing I had them do was ATF flush & refill... everything else had already been done. Even for all the items listed in the svc manual the price you were quoted is WAY too high!
As far as tires - your price point will determine that. I like the Toyo T1R... there are a good tire for the price - however, I went even less expensive and got Kumho Ecsta ASX... I've been relatively pleased; they are another good value for the dollar.
How much do you want to spend on tires? And why do you need them already? I replaced mine at around 30K too but I easily had 10-15L more life in 'em.

I looked around a lot and found there was more selection and better pricing on 245/45/18's. I found the Hankook Ventus K104s for $139 each locally and decided to try them. ($700 out the door for a new set of tires, mounted and balanced plus an alignment was pretty attractive...) My initial impressions are favorable, but the G35 is a new car to me so I don't really have a basis to compare them with anything else. It's a summer only tire so I'd expect them to work well in your climate. If I were planning to drive the car to it's limits, I would have chosen something else, but I think these will be more than enough for going back and forth to work.

^30K service should be in your owners manual I still have a long way to go for my 30K service but I will definately take my car to some place else to get the service done for the most part I have pretty much changed out a lot of the components they go over (mostly inspection items) but I am sure the service is $$$ here in Hawaii. I had the Toyo TR1 on for about 8k miles and I didn't like them they are noisy I switched to Bridgestones off of a set of M45 rims and they have been 10X better than the Toyos they offer great grip and NO road noise at all.

Edit: it didn't keep the 30K interval - use the pull down and enter 30000 for the info you need.

Here's the Edmunds link which lists out required maintenance at $30K + cost.
