Default ES300 90K maintenance

Hello All,
I have given my 2000 ES300 for 90K service at Toyota dealership. Following are the services that I requested:
1. Oil & filter change
2. Transmission flush
3. Brake fluid replacement
4. Power steering fluid replacement
5. Timing belt change
6. Water pump change
7. Drive belt change
8. Fuel filter change
9. EFT (ingnition) clean-up using machine
10. Coolant change
11. Hand brake adjustment

He confirmed no seals or hoses need a change. Also, I requested for engine flush but the mechanic looked at the engine and suggeested it is not needed for my car as it looks clean .

Myself I replaced cabin airfilter, engine filter & wiper blades .

Is there anything that I missed or needed a look?. What should I check when I go to pick up the car?. Appreciate your response.

Thanks........

That's pretty much everything. Just check the tires for pressure consistency and if alignment is right.

How about the differential fluid?
How about spark plugs and wires?

Default Cost

The total cost is $1220 + tax

I didn't do spark plugs.According to the manual, it can be replaced @ 120K. But, when I asked the Toy dealer, he quoted some where around $350 for spark plug replacement.

I believe ES doesn't have differential fluid. However, transmission fluid flush cost me $160.

I hope all these prices areway below Lexus prices.I didn't get a quote from Lexus.

I think you got a good deal considering spark plug inclusion as well. Did you go to Lexus or Toy or independent mechanic?

Just curious.......does independent mechanics do have machines to flush tranny, engine & coolant?. Earlier I used an ex Lexus mechanic and he just drain and refill. He doesn't have the equipment to do complete flush.
