30K Service Thought / Question

I bought my car with 26K miles and the dealer said they did a service but I was thinking I might have a service done when I hit 30K from my shop. Other than an oil change, any other recommendations on what I might want to do at 30K miles (for piece of mind)?

The service thed dealer did was a 26K service and doing anything 4K later is ridiculous. Nothing is required until 39K miles.

Might want to check brake pads, rotors, of course.

It's not a question of doing a service after only 4k mi.... It's a function of the fact that I don't trust the dealer.... but I trust my mechanic...

At 26k it ought to be fairly new and still under warranty? I see no reason not to trust the dealer with basic or more complicated service. They upsell, but, that is to be expected and can easily be ignored.

At 39K (and as of recently, "every 39K thereafter") the trans needs a LOF too. You'd be surprised how many dealers don't know this.
