100,000 miles is the recommended time to replace plugs along with the engine coolant. You are a bit short of this by a country mile. Adjust the gap and clean them if you like.
Fuel and air cleaner is 60,000 miles or four years. Tap the air cleaner and shake of the dust.
Dust filter is 18,500 miles. easily done yourself, or tap of the dust.

Buy the parts as required and keep the bills in the maintenance log book. write the mileage on the bills. This has to be a good record for anyone to see.
Do all you can yourself, with the money you save you can afford to do more upkeep on the car.
If you can change the oil yourself do it, keep the bills for the oil and filter and note date and info in the maintenance logbook.
Why pay for some dealers fancy lifestyle, especially these days, treat yourself a little.
In future go to a different stealeship, this one is a rip off artist.
