I took my car today to my brothers father-in-law's Automotive service shop that he owns.....
What has to be done.
Tune up Vehicle
distributor cap and rotor.
60,000 Mile Service
Brakes Good. Check Cooling System.
Cooling system needs to be serviced and thermostat replaced.
Check fan belts, C.V. Boots, exhaust, fluids, fuel lines and connections,
rack n pinion boots, steering and suspension. Recharge A/C System.
Service Cooling System
Install new thermostat and gasket. Refill cooling system and recheck
for leaks. Check thermostat and cooling fan operation ok.
Parts used in labor
Distributor Cap
Ignition Rotor
Spark Plug Wire Set
Spark Plug
Thermostat & Gasket
Anti-freeze Coolant
Freon
What I have learned....
Pros:My car feels like I just bought it from the dealer. I feel power that I have never felt since I bought the car. Blah Blah Blah.....
Cons: it cost me 368.96 FUCKEN DOLLORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
with labor AND parts
Next time I am DOING IT MYSELF!!!! expect a DIY on the complicated stuff listed here.

my car's at almost 70k now and i don't know when was the last time the car got serviced... my sister had it before i got it at 55k.. think she's had it serviced at 45k.
Should i maybe do a service now? what needs to be changed? oh yea, the car's got mostly freeway mileage maybe 90%.

60k mile service means its done at every 60k mile interval.. so first at 60k, then 120k, then 180k etc...
