How many miles on the car ? If your approaching the 100k mark,you can replace your O2s.

fuel filter
spark plugs
wires
change oil and filter
coolant/flush with a water hose
tranny fluid and tranny filter (if it an auto)
Seafoam in gas tank (good results for me)
differential fluid
new PCV valve
air filter (as mentioned)
clean MAF
visually check fan belt
test alternator and battery
replace IAC

If you got a Haynes manual, I think they give you a lits of things to do a visual inspection on.

Spend $15 on a Hyanes manual and do it yourself. You will pay out the ASS to have all that done. Labor will kill you.

Like RagTop said,cp's if you got a lot of miles.

Yeah ,definitely get the 02's if you can afford it. They are way overdue. With the OBD2 vehicles they are recommended to be replaced every 100k. Some peeps do it around 80-90k ,but 100k is like the manufacturer standard.

Fuel injectors would be nice.Or you can maybe have your old ones cleaned.

Just about everything else is really basically about performance. Meaning if your shocks/struts are good then dont mess with em. Same with the motor. If its not smoking ,ticking ,chattering or leaking ,leave it be. 130k isnt a lot of miles when properly maintained.
