90,000 mile Maintenance

[dano]

I recently purchased a 2002 T4R Limited with 89,000 miles on it. It was a 1 owner vehicle in immaculate condition. The previous owner traded it on a new T4R and had not performed the 90K maintenance on it.
I went to the local yota dealer today and got a list of what they do @ 90K:

Coolant flush - $109.95 (looks clean, good to -30)
Transmission flush - $159.95 (smells and looks clean)
Throttle Body service - $99.95 (what do they do?)
Engine flush - $109.95 (definate rip off)
Front diff. service - $109.95
Rear diff. service - $119.95
Spark plugs - $99.20 (1 hr. @ $86/hr.)
Timing belt/water pump - $957.24 (9.1hrs. @ $86/hr.)

Grand total - $1776.09 + tax

Looks like I'm being double charged for the coolant since they have to drain it to do the timing belt/water pump.
There is no mention of replacing the other belts, thermostat, pullies, seals. Looks like this could reach $2000 before all is said and done.
Has anyone gone way beyond 90K before changing the timing belt, since it is my main concern?
Is this a non-interference engine?

You're getting hosed.
Don't flush the tranny, drain and fill. If that doesn't make you happy, drain and fill, drive around, drain and fill again, drive around, do that 3 times and you'll have about 80% new fluid in there.
I got the 90K service w timing belt change for about $750 IIRC, including front and rear diff ($35 ea), and tcase fluid change (also $35). They did a drain and fill on my transmission and coolant, not a flush, but when I contacted Toyota directly (after getting different answers from every dealer I contacted) they said "drain and fill" on the tranny, NOT flush.

My suggestion would be to look here

and see what they're doing. If you're feeling industrious, try doing some of it yourself. If you feel better leaving it to the pros, definately go elsewhere, because that shop is gouging the hell out of you.

Your engine is non inteference, so you could go without replacing the belt, but again, you should be able to get the belt AND the 90K service done at a Toyota dealer for under 1/2 of what you were quoted. I'd contact another dealer if I were you, and look for coupons on the dealers websites for service.

I agree, that pricing is too high!

Make sure that timing belt change includes new idler and tensioner pulley. Good luck!
