4th Generation 90k miles - going to shop, what other work?

I am going to do new struts on the car (see sig), and because of my schedual and every one else's, it is a major PITA to get there.

The car has 90,000 miles and I want to know what else I should have done while it is there? The timing belt was done when I got the car (~75k miles), but is there anything else I should considering having done while it is there?

Thanks!!!

Cool link.

Issue is, I have no idea if ANYTHING has ever been done on this car. The coolant has probably not been flushed, no idea if the plugs or any other small parts like that have been replaced, etc.

Anything in the driveline (bearings, fluids, etc.) need work?

Basically, I want to do things that if left undone (like the timing belt), would start to hurt the car.

oil, oil filter, radiator flush (diy - is easy), tranny flush, spark plugs, water pump, cabin filter, air filter, balance rotate tires, inspect brake rotors pads line etc, four wheel alignment, check and top off all fluids, check wheel bearings, strut mounts.

Once you are finished, wash and wax that baby and you are ready for a road trip.
