Dude, get a tune up. Don't you have to change the transmission oil every 30,000 miles? You live in Cerritos, CA? I grew up there. Now, I live in Portland, OR. Cool.
You probably got your car at the World Largest Auto Square in Cerritos. They are very pushy.

You don't say how old your car is, but a brake fluid change is recommended every 2 years I think, and a coolant and PS fluid change would be beneficial too.

Just change the engine and cabin air filters and you'll be up to date.

Brake fluid should be done every three years, or at the very minimum, with each brake job.

Since you've already done the transmission fluid, you're good to go.

Plugs and coolant can wait until 100k.
