    Have the battery charged and tested it may be near the end of its life. The services you mention are not mentioned in the owners manual and may be seen as a dealership anxious to up sell work. The mileage is low/ car new, if you don't have a drivability problem or high emissions I don't think I would "service" the fuel system.Get a second opinion about the steering fluid if it is dirty flush it.
