Bringing the car in on Monday to have the work done. In addition to the water pump and timing belt and all the fun that goes with it, they're doing the spark plugs and installing my aluminum shifter bushings. Checking valve clearances too.
Since they're doing the water pump they're also going to flush the coolant. My dad's cousin (who owns the shop, been family owned for 3 generations) said they're seeing some of these extended life coolants that should be good for 120k miles, gelling already at 100k. Transmission will get new fluid too and flush the brake fluid.
Not trying to be like the TL-S they had in a while back that had the timing belt snap around 100k miles and destroy the engine.
Should get it back in a day and be all set to drive to St. Louis, Chicago, and a stop in Madison the following week.

So they also change out the spark plugs at the 7 year/105k mile service?
So would it be a good idea to do a seafoam right before I take it in for this service?

Performing an induction service before replacing the plugs is a good idea because it is not unheard of for cleaning chemicals to leave deposits on spark plugs.
