Recommended services/maintence

Hello, as a new Acura owner I felt it was only right to ask this question in here. I recently bought a used Acura, 2012 base TL. I'm curious what maintenance is worth doing. I don't have exact service records, so I don't know when certain things were last done. The main things that comes to mind are the timing belt, as well as a transmission fluid change. To get things done at a shop is expensive, but nowhere near as expensive as replacing entire parts should something go wrong early. She has around 110,000 miles on her. What do you guys think? What should I prioritize to keep this car healthy?

At this milage, I would double check if your car had timing belt done, if not, I would focus on doing that, plus the related items like water pump, tensioner etc. Outside of that, I would do all fluids and filters just to set the baseline for future maintenance and you should be good.I hope others with more technical knowledge will chime in with more details etc.

Mlody nailed it. Timing belt and water pump would be the main focus at 110,000 miles if not already replaced. Also spark plugs which need to be replaced at 100k. Not a bad idea to do fluids, just stick with all OEM stuff and you should be good.
