Tune-up?

I now have about 400 miles on my Lemond (I know...I haven't been riding enough, track has gotten in the way.) and I have noticed the shifting getting sloppy, and I have noticed a slight wobble in the rear wheel. I also have noticed a bit of front wheel flex when I'm really hammering. So I was thinking that I would take the bike in for a tune-up, and possibly a front brake pad change. I'm supposed to get free service from my bike shop for a year.

what I'm wondering is if there is anything I'm forgetting. Is there anything else I should be getting in a tune up?

Also, the stock pads that I have on my bike stop well, but they make the most dust ever. It is this black film that gets everywhere; on the rims, brake arms, fork arms, even a bit on the headtube. Is there any pads that make little dust and stop well?
