Default need advice on service for accord lx 2001

Hello,
My accord just hit 3 years and has 30K miles on it.

I've had the oil changes done every 3 mos and
recently had front brake pads replaced as well
as air filter.

What would you say are the most important 30K tasks
to get done?

I haven't done a coolant flush & refill done.
Is this as important at this point?

What about tranny oil and brake fluids?

Please advice on the most important tasks for this car
at this mileage.

Thanks

Do you have the Accord's owner's manual? It should have come with this car if
you bought it new.

There's a spreadsheet in these that shows the time and miles at which certain
items should be done.

The dealer has a standard 30k package which should also include a valve lash
adjustment, oil/filter change, air filter, cabin filter and so forth. You
should not need plugs as they are platinum. Surprised you have had to
change brake pads -- my 01 Prelude is still on the originals at 51k miles
and good for while longer.
