Default 02 ES300 90k checkup advice...

I just bought an 2002 ES300. It has about 95k miles. The book was last stamped at 87k m about 8 months ago in the spot for the 85k service, every spot at Lexus of Seattle. It's clearly a few miles overdue for the 90k checkup, but I was curious exactly what I need to get done if this should be any different than what the book says. The dealership I bought it from changed the oil so doing it again seems unnecessary and should save me a few bucks, for example. Lexus of Seattle, having serviced it since it's inception, checked the VIN and quoted me $1900 for what it should need around now. I asked Greg's Japanese Auto for a quote on the timing belt and they said $900ish for the timing belt, water pump, and a couple other things that are related (which I know are significantly more pressing concerns than say, rotating the tires). Lastly I felt a light pulsation on the brakepedal which I'm told indicates I need to get the brake rotors replaced or resurfaced.

Anyway my query is what should I get done if any different than the recommended, and if anyone has any experience (positive or negative) with Greg's Japanese Auto and if there are any other suggestions for having this work done in the greater seattle area (preferably north)

All you need is Timing belt, Water Pump, I did my thermostat, plugs, and coolant change at that mileage. I t shouldn't cost you more that $500. Then again, I do my own maintenance....

the lexus dealership quoted me $1500 for the timing belt and associated things (tensioners, water pump, etc) and the difference was for brake related stuff which i mentioned.

if $900 is high now I'm hearing $1500? where in seattle should I go to get this done?
