Are all these talks about maintenance true?

[Hornsman]

As a new car owner, navigating the maintenance requirements can feel quite overwhelming. A mechanic recently advised me on several essential services, including changing the power steering fluid and flushing the cooling system every year. Additionally, I was told to rotate my tires annually and flush the brake system as well.

These recommendations made me question if all these tasks are truly necessary each year. I want to ensure my vehicle runs smoothly without breaking the bank or overdoing it with maintenance. Are all these true?
