50K what is that I have to do?

I am getting close to 50K miles and wanted to ask you if there is anything that I need to do for proper maintainance. So far I have just replaced oil every 3000 miles and checked the level of the fluids BUT I never really replaced anything like: coolant, brake shoes and pads, spark plugs, air conditioniniong gas (freon?)....
when are all these things due for replacement?
overall I have no problem to report

thank you

What year of car? Your owners manual or the website below should provide details on scheduled maintenance.

Front brakes should have squealers that make a noise when the pad gets low; rears usually last a lot longer. If OEM plugs should be good for 100K, Freon does not wear out. Might think about a coolant change if original. If an automatic trans think about changing the fluid more often then scheduled as this is a cheap and effective way to prolong its life.

Timing belt

It is my understanding that the timing belt is actually not a belt but a chain! with a tensioner I guess? so does it need replacement periodically? i thought cam chains don`t need to be replaced...am I wrong?

Well.. considering that you didn't even post what year Corolla you have you're bound to get a lot of responses that don't even apply to your car.

BTW, at 50k miles I would say you're due for a rear diff check up.
