Avalon 2003 90K Maintenance

Hi

I am new to this forum and would like your guidance on the 90k maintenance.
I want to know what things should be covered in 90k maintenence,as the dealers are covering different things and the price is ranging from 490$ to 590$ dealer to dealer.

I also want to know if replacing timing belt and spark plug is mandatory in 90k maintenence

Thanks

-Manish K

Timing belt yes, spark plugs maybe not, since they have iridium plugs and the maintenance schedule is at 120k, I believe. And all the usual fluid change; engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid if it had never been changed.

N.E.O.

Good advice ,above. If you do the timing belt, or have it done, include the water pump replacement, cam seals, and accessory belt. Saves you labor money later. My '02 has a firewall mounted fuel filter that is replaceable too. Don't know on the '03s.
Check around too, Beantown has a lot of really good independent shops. Get a referral and it might save you some bucks.

man-
This should help you get a handle on what is needed and/or when it is scheduled.

Avalon forum is rather mild, be aware that some of the other forums can be rather abrasive and intolerant. FYI
