Have you referred to your owner's manuals yet?

Ever since the advent of EFI and computerized ignitions a 'tune up' is generally a thing of the past. Completely old school. Of course, if you go into a repair place, or back to the dealer, they will gladly charge you $200 or so for a "tune up", whatever that is. Remember, these are the same guys who insist you change your oil every 3,000 miles.

Please, simply open up your manual and comply with the maintenance schedule. You'll save in the long run. It could not be easier!

In the meantime, forget the concept of a 'tuneup'.

Totally agree with A6 on this one. The coolant for the Pilot is good for 100K miles as well as the spark plugs IIRC. The only things that need to be changed at shorter intervals are the motor oil, tranny and VTM-4 (rear diff) fluids.

Not sure on your Accord though.
