Kind of weird that the dealer would suggest a PS fluid change. It's a good idea to do, but not normally scheduled maintenance...but then if they're getting $100 for it I could certainly see their incentive!
The easy DIY method involves a turkey baster and a few bottles of fluid. Just suck everything out of the PS fluid resevoir, re-fill with fresh fluid. Drive for a while and repeat a couple of times. There are more anal ways to do it, but this method works fine.
My favorite PS fluid (is it normal to have a favorite PS fluid?!) is Valvoline SynPower (or something like that). I find it helps in older systems, but any GM compatible fluid should be fine.
Oh, and as a recent college grad, it really doesn't get that much easier right away! For the emblems you could try eBay -- others might have better ideas.
Good luck,
Craig
