My wife drives a 2002 SC with no apparent maintenance problems 57K mileage, The dealer tells me i need to follow the 60K maintenance schedule: new fuel filter, cleaning the injectors & throttle body, replace the transmission fluid & filter. flush the radiator.

Any suggestions on what I really need done and is it recommended to use the dealer or other repair shops, like the local oil change guy who flushes the radiator for $49.00?  Also, i have changed the plugs at 30K but not the wires. Is synthetic transmission fluid worth it?
