How often do you get your car serviced?

I drive a scion tC - it's my second car, and my first car was a clunker so I never bothered to do any upkeep so I don't really know how to take care of a car. I got it back in '09 and every three months the dealership I got it from sends me an email reminding me to come in and get it serviced, and every 3 months/1500 miles (I think, maybe it's 15000) the maintenance required light comes on. They do things like change the oil and rotate the tires and all that cool car stuff that I don't know anything about. They also make sure all the lights and stuff are working, check the fluid levels etc. Anyway whenever I go more than 3 months without getting it serviced things get quirky. Like I notice it's a litle more difficult to maintain control, it doesn't accelerate as quickly, nothing very drastic just small but noticeable things. Does my car suck or do all cars need to get serviced every 3 months?
