Camry 90K service

[gangarajuk]

Hi Folks,
My Camry has been a pet for the dealer for the last 90K miles and the deale made a good chunk of money on the maintenance. As my car is old already, I thought I'd giver her a break from the dealer. Will it be alright if I have a local mechanic to work on the car for a 90K service (timing belt, transmission etc.,). If so, what do I tell him to do? Is there a list of common 90K maintenance task list? Your input is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
