I would say no, it's just a money grab if someone at that dealership told you that you needed it. Just use top tier fuel and run some Techron fuel injector cleaner once in awhile.

Nope. With the fuels made today and injector service is hardly ever needed as long as you run top tier fuels. Throttle body cleaning should only be done if it becomes dirty under normal conditions you should be able to go at least 50000 before it needs looked at. This is of course it is maintained better than recommended intervals.
