Maintenance questions and where to buy parts..?
Ok so got my 95 LS home today. Looks great, happy with it. Noticed a few things, and want to update the maintenance.
1) I opened up the covers, and the top of the timing belt looks like there are some sraight cracks in it, exactly where the underside ribs are. So I think change is in order. Car has 117K miles. What do you think?
These are the parts I need to buy. OEM is best of course, but looking to hear your options where to purchase from. I am in Southern California. Also if you guys know the part prices, would help me out, before I call and order.
1) Timing Belt
2) Water PUmp
3) Thermostat -probably need to change it at time of TB/WB right?
4) Rear Brake pads (car needs it), do I need to buy the sensor as well?
5) Front power steering cap, underseal.
6) Air Filter-its disgusting
7) Plugs
8) Wires-distributor
9) Oil Filter
10) Hood struts.
I want to do all these together. My local mechanic quoted me $500 for everything above.
Please advice. I can go to a diff mechanic if you guys would recommend.
Appreciate all the help.

That seems like a really good price. The next question is the mechanic.
Is he a real LEXUS mechanic or a jack of all cars?
Let us know. I'm in So Cal too so I"m always looking a one who knows what he's doing at a good price
