They quoted the 90,000 mile service at $800 but like I said most of it was unnecessary. The timing belt was gonna be $369 for parts and labor. I think the tranny fluid was like $70. They didn't even mention the water pump, it wasn't on the quote.
I think I am gonna have the timing belt done but thats it. Everything else I can do on my own. I might have the fuel system flushed and the injectors cleaned while I'm at it.

Not changing the water pump while that far in is foolish in my opinion. There is a very good chance the water pump will not last another 90K, and then most of the work will have to be done all over again. Remember, the water pump is driven by the timing belt, and requires almost all the labor to change as the timing belt job.
