2003 Avalon XLS 74000 miles

Dealer states need rear brakes ($200) which pads are best?
Also wants to flush trans fluid done in May 07 w/ 38,000 ($210)?
Replace timing belt and water pump at ($475)
Cooling system Service ($80) replaced coolant at 60,000 9/20/09?
Clean fuel injectors @ ($130). This done May 07
Flush P/S fluid @ $ 120. This was also done 5/07 at 38,000.
Toral price around $ 1,200. and I will get 10% discount

Just seems like alot to do for the mileage I have (74,000) however they say the vehicle is 8 years old. Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions will be appreciated, thank you

Brake pads depend on wear; I do like Toyota pads.
Don't need most of rest of work unless a problem is indicated.
I think timing belt interval is 110K; 75K is too soon regardless of age.
Remember, the service department is their major profit center when sales are down.
