Maintenance/Repairs

I saw that the maintenance light on my car was coming on close to the 57,000 miles and I brought it to CarMax so they could check it, they said nothing was wrong, I think I need to make the oil change by 58,000. I have done it each 3,000 miles but a friend suggested is better to bring it to a certified dealer and hey would do it each 5,000 and its better for the vehicle.

On CarMax they also gave me a paper stating that soon I need to make a service for the 30,000/90,000 mile service price 400 and the description of the service is as follows:

Change oil and filter lubricate chassis fill all fluids to proper levels inspect and adjust driving belts service emission filters rotate & balance tires inspect exhaust components service wheel bearing replace spark plugs non platinum inspect service brake syst. Inspect steering linkage suspension components, fuel system emission control components, drive shaft boot/engine mount transmission linkage & seal replace engine coolant check & service transmission fluid and filter, check battery.

My question to you is: is this really needed, is it better to bring it to the dealer, I know in the past carmax would not be responsible for tire or battery, why are they mentioning them now? I rotate them regularly?I want to know if in the dealer I would have a better, more reliable deal.

Thanks for your help!
