So my car is getting up there in age and miles, I currently have 134k on it. Its been a while since it has been in the shop and had any maintenance work done on it or any sort of tune up. I take great car of the car and change the oil and such but I think its about time to put a little money into it and have a shop do some work on it before I start having problems. So here is my question, what do you guys recommend having done to it? It needs plugs and wires, coolant flush, I threw a code for the knock sensor a while ago so that will be replaced. What else do you guys think should be done? I dont have a massive budget so think conservatively. Thanks for the input.

Oh and if I posted this in the wrong spot please move it.

The timing belt has been done and I just replaced brakes so both of those should be all set. Could you give me a ball park estimate on what this might cost me if I come to you guys? Thanks
