90k Maintenance?
Well first of all i would like to say hello to all the guys and girls out there who is keeping up to this forum and sharing their knowledge.Im new to the forum and this is my first post.
I have a 01 Gs 300 and my 90k Maintenance Schedule is due soon. By reading all the earlier posts, think i got pretty much everything covered that what needs to be done at 90k service.Heres a list of all the parts im planning to replace, need feedback and expert advice if im missing something out or doesnt need to be replaced.
New Timing Belt
New Timing Belt Tensioner Bearing
New Water Pump
Replace Front Ball Joint
Replace Front Tire rods
Replace Steering Rack brushings
Replace Spark Plugs
Replace Diffrential , breaks , Powersteering and Coolant fluids
Transmission Fluid got replaced and Fuel System Cleaning at 87k
Im thinking to take it to a local mech(trying to save some buks) to get all the major parts replaced. Does anyone have an idea on how much should labor cost? or will a Lexus dealer install if i provide them with parts? Need Ur 2 cents on this guys.

Sounds like you have a pretty good list there. I would get a front crank seal and cam seals also. Since the front of the engine is already torn apart, you might as well replace those seals to save time. Id also pick up a PCV valve. Any shop should be able to handle those jobs, but i be sure you trust them before you take it in. The engine in your car has VVT-i and is an "interference" engine, meaning if the shop doesnt do it correctly, they could end up bending valves. If its a reputable shop, you'll be alright. Ask them if they've ever worked on Lexus VVT-i engines before.
