Confirm Brakes (pads, rotor, calipers) are all in good order - always #1 on my list.

You mentioned only timing belt - but I'm assuming that they also replaced the other belts.

Replace Thermostat (unless you know it's new)

Double check the radiator hoses, fan clutch and see if you can flush out any bugs/trash in your radiator - that may help it cool better in the summer. I'd also check if it's fallen victim to the "binary" heater valve. (hopefully the fan is also in good working order - that's a real PITB)

Grease u-joints and wheel bearings

Replace Fuel filter

If you are really picky (like many of us 240 owners), I'd grease the door hinges and hood springs and check your turn signal/break light/backup light bulbs for corosion.

Also - not sure where you're from but here in TN - we occasionally need to turn on AC even in the Winter time - I'd check out to make sure that is all working as desired.


I'm sure that there's more - but didn't see these on other's lists

Hope that helps
Charles
