Thanks to everyone who replied. Today I went to the Chevy dealer (Sunset Chevy in Sarasota) I normally use and asked them about which fluids I should have changed. They recommended the cooling system, brake fluid and power steering fluid should be changed for $436 including taxes. RB wanted $595.
I always thought dealer prices were crazy but this time the Corvette specialty shop was way out of wack.

I have an 05 coupe with 55k miles. Last summer I did all the fluids my self in the drive way on my Quick Jack. You can do it yourself quite easily. Oil is done every year and coolant every 5.

Time since last change is NOT applicable like some of the other fluid changes, according to the listing.
