After doing some research and comparing prices I basically told my favorite local Toyota dealer I'd have them perform the labor if the price was reasonable and they'd work with me on parts costs. ~ They did NOT recommend replacing any seals unless they were leaking as some other here had mentioned.
Thanks for circling back

Dealer: did they give you a warranty for their work?
How long was that?

Regarding the seals, did you ask them if they would warranty their work and replace the seals for free if and when they started to leak?
It's not a question of IF but when. 20 year old rubber isn't getting any more flexible; only smaller and harder.

I didn't ask them about any kind of warranty. Probably in the paperwork somewhere. I'm so used to working on my own junk I never even thought about it honestly.

Found it, looks like the warranty is 12 mos and somehow tied to the parts if I read it right. Kinda explains why the parts are so expensive if you just buy them through the service dept, seems like they build in the cost of the warranty. For example the radiator was almost $300 if purchased through service, $165 through retail parts, and $130 with my discount. The idler and tensioner pulleys were crazy expensive like 5x what I got them for as well.

Looking over everything in detail last night I'm happy to say the tech that did the work did a great job. Everything neat and tidy just like I like it and all the old parts were boxed back up like the news ones came out of the box. Glad to see that kinda detail.

I disassembled my radiator to take a look at the trans cooler portion and it had just a tiny bit of corrosion. Probably coulda gone another 10 years but for $130 it was cheap insurance to just swap it for a new one. Denso came out of the Toyota/Lexus package.
