Any of these services actually needed?

Stopped by the dealership for an oil change today (36k miles). They recommended the following:

Clean Perform Fuel Induction Service
Fuel System/Injector Service Flush
Evaporator Clean Service.

I didn't take them up on any of these, but looked like the total cost was around $400.

The induction service (basically cleaning your MAF and Throttle Body and de-carboning the top end) might be worthwhile at 36K if you're a "grandma" driver, otherwise 60K is more appropriate. Throw a can of BG in your tank and call the injectors good. If you can pull the cabin filter yourself then the chemicals to spray down your HVAC are available at Walmart. Filter out, blower on high, hood open, spray down the cowl and let the stuff go through the ventilation system.
