Default 30K or 45K Service, which should is more important?

Hello all,
I wanted to get some opinions on this matter, I skipped my 30K miles service and I'm coming up on 45K miles Service soon,
Both are a $600.00 service.

Now my question is, what is the difference between the two services?
and which one do you believe is more important of the two? I know I missed out on the 30K miles service, but is everything replaced (parts wise) in the 45K miles service like the 30K miles service?

thank you.....

I think the book says 30K, but what's another 15K wait to get the next major maintenance tune-up?
No big deal.

I got my done at close to 40K which changed out many items like spark plugs, transmission fluid, synthetic oil, tire rotation, etc.

Of course, I didn't go to the dealership but instead a reliable and trustworthy aftermarket tuning shop in my local area.

My next major one is 60K and I'm at over 45K right now.

I don't think there is a major difference between the 30K and 45k service because them seem pretty close to one another.

Either way, at those kind of miles, anything old gots to get rid of and replaced w/ the new stuff (fluids) and other minor h/w pieces like spark plugs.

the 30k is more in depth and should actually be more $$$ than the 45k
