All vehicles come with owner's manuals and maintenance schedules. Read them. It's not on the dealership to tell you what service is required. All four of my children had to read the owner's manual of their respective vehicles before they were allowed to drive them. They had to learn to change a tire, check & change the oil, check other fluids, know the general maintenance intervals & where to find them in said manuals. Especially my daughters so I never have to worry about one of them calling me saying "the mechanic says I need to change my headlight fluid".

I see this all the time on Corvette Forum as well (because I own one). Check out my "mint" 2005 Corvette - still on original tires and regular oil changes, only 7k miles. "Have you changed the coolant" "no, it only has 7k mi". "Have you changed the brake fluid, clutch fluid, rear diff fluid...?" "No it only has 7k mi".

I never understood people paying a lot of money for something & not knowing how it works or how to maintain it properly. Even supposed "gear heads".
