I want to know except the regular oil change that I have to do now, what else should I consider to get quoted for. I do my repairs and maintenance at a local indy shop that I trust. I was thinking brake fluid, power steering fluid any other fluids? Maybe spark plugs. What else?
Thanks in advance.

what types of maintenance have you done up to this point? Are you looking for preventative maintenance suggestions? its going to vary depending on what kinds of miles you are putting on, are they 90k highway miles or city pot hole crushing miles?
For me with the age and mileage I say two things, anything that has a bushing with rubber could be deteriorating, so I would visually check sway bar bushings, end links, thrust arms, wishbones, tie rods, cv joints, subframe bushings, ball joints, air springs, etc.
Secondly, take care of your fluids. Coolant flush, fuel filter, brake fluid flush, front and rear diffs, transfer case, power steering fluid.
Check out what I said above you are off to a good start.
If you havent done spark plugs ever, at your mileage and age it cant hurt. check valve cover gasket and oil filter housing for any oil leaks. check the intake boot for cracks, and DISA valve to note condition of o-ring seal.
