Generally a tune up consists of spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor(DIS ignition has no cap/rotor), fuel filter, air filter, PCV valve. This is the general type. Others may define tune up another way and include other things. I define it this way. Going a bit further, there can be a timing belt replacement and further. But the general idea of tune up is the necessities I listed in the first line.

The owner's manual that came with the car tells you when various services should be done. Frequently it is better to do them more often than recommended in the owner's manual, but they should be done at least as often as recommended by the owner's manual.

Your girl just got a tune up for her 1994 Altima and it cost 330.00 that seems high to you Is that average?

It depends on the work done on the car. Check the receipt or call to see if there were any repairs made in addition to the tune-up. But for a baasic tune-up, $330 is way too much money. It should have been a third of that or less.
