2007 s550 servicing question

I took my s550 07 that I recently purchased to the dealer to get the fluids changed out. It has 5700 miles and as you can see it has hardly been driven at all and the last time is got an oil change was 2008!! It literally sat in a garage. That being said the dealer recommended changing out power steering fluids, coolant, oil, brake fluid, etc.. However he told me to hold off on servicing the tranny because the car has so few miles. He told me to drive it around till it hits 20k miles then bring it in. Normally it's every 4 years but this case was unusual.
What's your opinion on this recommendation? I dont want any issues popping up because the tranny has been stagnant for so long. On the other hand the car has been barely broken in!

Thanks!

if it was mine..

I would only replace the engine oil and brake fluid only for now. The rest can wait for later.
I would also drive the car more often....it seems like cars have more problems when not driven.. Speaking from my experience on my e class.
