105k maintenance

This is gonna sound whack so bear with me.

I had my 105k maintenance done at the dealer last year. I was around 95k miles, now I'm at 110k. This is my problem - I can't remember what I ordered (lots of shit going on at that time). I know for a fact, 100% at the very least I had TB and water pump changed but I think that's it. Paid $850 something. Lost the receipt and online owner records doesn't show what I had serviced. Does the dealer not replace the pulleys when you do this maintenance or does it come with it? Tensor pulley? Tensor idle? Serpentine belt? Is that the only thing I'm missing from 105k service? My independent mechanic said that they should have replaced everything at the same time or else they are messed up. Knowing Acura, you never know. I guess I'm being paranoid. Is there any way to tell by looking at the pulleys?

I also replaced spark plugs, brake fluid, coolant, 3x3 trans fluid sometime later.

Thx all.

Contact the acura dealer, they will have a log in their system of what work was done, how much you paid etc....
You will probably need to provide your personal details and maybe some of the cars details

Normally, only the timing belt tensioner is...none of the accessory belt pulleys are.

Is that the most important thing I must change? The other pulleys - all accessory, if they break, won't harm the engine unlike the TB/water pump. Preexisting TB should take the pulleys easy right?

Exactly...
what'll probably happen first is you'll get an annoying screech from the idler/tensioner pulley assembly.

When I had my TB done they required that the auto tensioner be replaced. In their ad though they noted everything that was replaced it included the drive belts but I had them replace the pulleys and motor mount and belt tensioner. All overkill but philosophy for me is "while hood is up" do it. It is not common practice to do the pulleys at all by the dealer. I did it all ordered parts in and the shop swapped it all for free much to my surprise and on 3 diff cars.

Note when I had Acura dealer price it out they did it with and without the water pump the WP made it very expensive like over $2k so I'd be very clear and go to dealer they can easily print your RO for details

If you ordered a TB/WP kit it came with sperentine belt, TB, WP and TB tensioner. If the dealer do the work for $850 (labor ONLY) then most likely everything else already replaced. If the dealer charge you part+ labor then those thing most likely not getting replaced. I got mine TB/WP, both cam seal, all the tensioners and radiator flush for $835. I bought the part and dealer provide labor+ honda blue coolant.
