Default 15K Mile Maintenance

Ok so i got a letter in the mail from Ford saying you should be nearing 15K miles, etc. come pay us money to check stuff for you, and here are some coupons.

Everything seems to be fine on my car. Up to date on oil changes, next one is due at like 17-18K miles and im at little over 15K and had the tires rotated last time oil was changed.

New tires/rims going on on wednesday, so tire replacement/checking isn't a issue as new ones are going on.

Is there anything that would have worn out at 15K miles and needs to be replaced? Can be anything small to large. Is there anything to may need maintenance, or checking? Any fluids i should check on, to make sure there up to par?

This is my first car so i'm not exactly sure what all is suppose to be done at 15K. I glanced at the thing they sent me that said things such as check brake lines/brake fluid, etc.

Just looking for feedback on what ACTUALLY needs to be done/replaced/checked.

Also a side question i'm having my tires mounted on a Hunter GSP9700 RoadForce balancer. Now the place that is doing this is a tirerack installer, and it says They charge $19.50 per tire for my series tire, but it says roadforce balancing is extra $9 per tire. I want to have a roadforce balance done on my tires, and my question is if they use that balancer, is there any other type of balance they could perform on this machine besides a road force balance?

I never adheed to that maintenance schedule. To me,its just another way to get my money. They are expensive.

I had mine road forced balance because it is a true balance. Its the same as the tire being driven on the road. It will also let you know that your wheels are within the manufacturer's specs.

Well that's the thing. I want my wheels road force balanced, but on tire rack it says it's an extra $9 per wheel but i don't think it is. It says that for every tire installer listed on there site. I will just call them to confirm they will road force balance for the price listed.

Is there a link to this thread? Also i was just wondering in general is there anything that needs to be done or checked on the car at 15K miles? I don't seem to have any issues with anything.
