53k mile service suggestions

bout to hit 53k miles what do you guys suggest changing tuning etc to keep car in shape

[tr1kst4nce]

Timing belt, spark plugs, oil (obviously, and oil filter), air filter (if necessary), flush all fluids, brakes, check/clean your battery terminals, clean your door hinges and lube 'em, check the wipers, check treads on your tires, and have your engine steam cleaned... believe it or not its quite helpful later. Every 10-15k miles have your engine and engine compartment cleaned. It's usually around 30-40 bucks at a dealer or detailer. You can try to do it yourself with degreaser and all that but.. hell you're gonna pay 5 bucks for the cleaner and then some rags, etc. Why not spend the money and have somebody who does it every day do it and do it quickly.

FYI... if you go to a dealer for the 60k service, it runs you about a grand. They do the timing belt, tune up, spark plugs, oil change, flush fluids, and then they do a 28 point inspection. It's about 500 for the timing belt, and 500 for the rest. Brakes run about 250 front and rear.
