Nothing's wrong AFAIK, unless severely delaying factory recommended service has caused damage. Unlike the previous gen, valve services are just expensive on the current generation. So much so that I've only been able to afford ONE when I should have had THREE by now. I can't find a place in SoCal willing to do it under $500. I've seen several engines sell for far less than that. If I pay the same after labor, why not chose the option that gets me a lower mileage engine? The OP only has 18K on his.
