Default When should I bring my car in for major services?

I have a 2004 RX330 and it is about to reach 75,000 miles. Should I bring it in for major services yet? Or do I need to change my timing belt and the rest of the belts?

You can probably wait until 90K to do timing and the rest of the belts.

Trust me, wait until 90K. I have known RXs to go way past 90K up to 150K+ with on problems on the timing belts, but still 90K is the best time to do it and I personally also do the water pump at the same time given it is easier access. 90K is probably the biggest, $$$ service that the RX will see because of the timing belt.

90K would be perfect. Just do the routine oil changes, drain and fill tranny until then!
