Post When should I do what maintenance?

I just got my 2011 used car and it has 39,000 miles on it. It doesn't have when I should do what service for it. If someone has the service miles booklet that Chevy wants you to do what, it would be wonderful.
Thanks

Just click the link below and then select your model year, the owners manual will download as a PDF file that you can save on your computer.....

The maintenance schedule for the '11 model year starts in section seven of the manual.

I'd get a tranny flush. No it isn't due yet but you don't know how the car was treated. Same with oil and coolant.

Here is my maintenance list:

every 3,000 miles oil
every 30,000 miles tranny flush on auto. (unless required earlier for warranty.)
every 50,000 miles tranny fluid change on manual.
coolant done at manufacture's schedule.
re-lubes ""
brakes ""

Always get new fluids when buying a used car. Helps me sleep at night lol.

Thanks for the info guys
I was planning on that and I wish I had the money to buy it new as I know how I would have broken it in.

Only car I ever bought new was my 2000 eclipse gs 5spd with all the options. Just buy from a dealer that carries new cars and gives you a good extended warranty.
