Question Induction cleaning interval?

Hi all,
I went in for an oil change today (34447 KM) and the service representative suggested that I have an induction cleaning done.
Isn’t it a bit early for such a service? From what I’ve been reading, this is usually done over 100000KM?
Mind you, I never put in additives in the fuel and always fill up with 87.

Induction cleaning? Do not, repeat do not fall for this one. Using 87 WO additives is no reason to do this now because this is not a fuel related issue.
Induction cleaning is typically the removal of the throttle body and giving it a solvent based cleaning which sounds simple and it is. It's also easy to screw up.
Think about doing this yourself at the 90,000 km mark.
