120k Mile Tune Up

I bought my CL in December, and so just for shits and giggles I called the dealer to get an estimate on a tune up (Specifically tranny drain and fill) and they wanted $550 to do the following:
  • Transmission drain and fill
  • oil change
  • new wipers
  • engine filter replacement
  • "inspection"
So obviously I'm going to do most of that myself, or take it to a local, but what else would you guys recommend doing while I'm at it. I still need to check the timing belt to see what it's like. Probably do spark plugs, plug wires distributor cap too...
Anything else that I need to take care of?

tl;dr what do i need for 120k mile tune up?
