Default Changing all fluids.

Taking my car into a shop for an all fluid change. I don't have any service records of when anything was changed except the oil and oil filter since I did that myself a few months back. Besides flushing the: brake fluid, power-steering fluid, transmission fluid, radiator coolant, rear diff fluid, and new oil/oil filter. Is there anything else I am missing? Also what should I expect to pay for this, if anyone has ever done this before, what have you paid?

Somthing that I do evry 2 to 3 oil changes (fully synthetic oil 10,000 km intervals) I suck the oil in the power stering reservoir and top it up. I keep it fresh. It helps extends the power stering components live forever.
My previous car 2005 F150 sold at 360,000 km and never had any power stering system issues (pump, rak, & seals).

Change the air and cabin filters... Order them on Amazon.

Shop I am taking it to, suggested that I just do a 60k mile service since my car is coming up on that (sitting at 58k right now). Besides changing all fluids, they will do air filters, and check everything else. Quoted me at $400. Not to bad compared to other shops in my area and since they specialize in Lexus's, I trust them.
