Default Integra checkup?

I have 90k miles on a 2001 integra and it's never been in for a regular servicing, I've just done brakes, tires, etc. as it's needed them. What types of things would you expect it to need when I bring it in? Also, there is no Acura dealer nearby, so my choices are a Honda dealer, a Sears type garage or a local spot. What's the best choice?

They'll want you to change your timing belt, all your hoses, and usually fluid change, if you're lucky that will be it. The Honda dealer by you is probably best for that car, but hey, If it ain't broke-don't fix it right? The timing belt is critical to the rest of your engine's potential lifespan though. Good Luck, If you have mechanical experience, you can flush your anti-freeze and inspect the hoses.

at 90k miles , you better have at least your timing belt inspected . better yet , have your timing belt , water pump , cam seal , front crank seal and all your drive belts change . the factory recommends the timing belt change at 110k , it doesn't hurt to do it at 90k. is just preventive maintence . cause you don't want a snap timing as you drive , it can and will collapse your valves . (not good at all) .
