I realize most cars no longer need lube jobs, but I have come into possession of a 2004 Honda Civic and I'm going to take it in for maintenance. So my question is, is there anything - steering, suspension, drivetrain, etc - that needs to be lubed?

My question would be the status of the timing belt.... on a 7th gen, personally.

Yeah, like CraigW says, timing belt is crucial, along with valve adjustment if it's never been done. Also change all fluids if you don't know last time they were done.

Also check coolant levels in radiator and reservoir.
if radiator is lacking and reservoir is full, potential headgasket breach (It's easier to do timing belt/water pump and gasket at once)

if levels ok, *should be OK*

If any suspension parts have been replaced with aftermarket parts there may be grease points
