Service
I have a 2017 Stingray with 32,000 miles that I took delivery of in October 2016. Other than oil changes, I've done no other scheduled maintenance. I know it's not a lot of miles but due to the years, is there any scheduled maintenance I should think about doing at this point?
Thanks in advance

Then of course there would be the air filter and the cabin air filter if you haven't changed those recently.
I'd check the owners manual regarding transmission and differential fluid changes. Both are likely fine.
From there you get into lubing door hinges, hood catch, door, hood, and hatch touch points, weatherstripping, etc. All are past due if you haven't done anything with them already.

You're way past due on a coolant change and brake fluid.

mine wasn't quite this dirty after 30K, but here is somebody else's C7 cabin air filter posted. They're only about $12.00, Something you can DIY in about 5 minutes.

I was at the dealership recently and while waiting for my car, the service advisor came into the lobby and told about five different people that they all needed air filters, when he told me, I said 'and you need another job'.

No, I hear what you are saying. I have never taken my vehicles to a Quick Lube or Dealer for any non-warranty service. It's also the reason I bought a used C7 Corvette. I was finding it harder and harder to DIY service my last few vehicles. BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes are getting so technologically complicated to perform routine maintenance.
