major service visit

My 2006 kia sportage is due for it's 30,000 mile service....Do I really "need" to get all that's on the list?? The car is just 3 yrs old and I've already had to get brand new tires and new front brakes.....they don't make things the way they used to! I had the pollen air filter replaced last month at the dealers recomendation and it cost me $75 !! I thought that was outragous. Anyway, the list of things are: Flush transmission, flush transfer case, power flush cooling system, replace air filter,engine performance service clean combustion chamber and injectors, inspect cv joints and boots. Can you tell me what I should have done.........thank you.

TRANSFER CASE FLUID REPLACE AT 25K, TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE AT 30K. EVERYTHING ELSE APPEARS TO BE INSPECT AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY. coolant change is at 60k or 60mo for the first time and then 30k or 24months after. throttlebody cleaning/fuel injector service would be a bad idea.

Thank you...Is "changing" the fluids ( transfer & transmission) the same as "flushing" them and which do you recommend? Thanks again

[KIAPARTSOURCE]

A Flush They Are Going To Run More Fluid Through And Possibly A Cleaner Solvent/solution As Well. More Fluid= More $ Dont Think They Can Flush The Transfer Case Cuz Its Pretty Much A Drain And Fill Procedure. The Trans They Would Hook Up To A Flush Maching By Disconnecting And Plugging Into Transmission Cooler Lines. I Thought I Saw Recently Where Kia Sent A Memo To Dealers Advising Not To Do Flushes. But I Cant Find It Again ;(

Oh..and The Throttle Body/fuel System Service Wouldnt Be A Bad Idea.....typo'd Prevously
