i mean what really is a tune-up, cheange spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, plug wires, oil change. all that would take all of 30 mins to do and you won't get dirty(depends on oil change), just do it yourself and save.

There is no need to do this unless he is running some new performance wise IE Cams, Cam gears, new internals. Also he would need an EMS (Engine Management System) to tune the car by. Honestly man, if he swapped a stock motor in there (Ls,GSR,B16, B20) there is honestly no reason to tune it. Now the best someone can do is a leak down and a compression test and check for any low compression. Also we can check for any leaking gaskets. But other than that tell him to save his money till he does a few more upgrades.

If you have any further questions please feel free to send me a PM and I can walk you through any help you may need.

Well if you are talking about a dyno tune, go to SFP in Miami #1 place to dyno tune, they know what the hell they are doing when it comes to tunning.
