If the 60K mile major service was done in its' entirety, you should be set. The following is a recap of the items unique to the 60K mile service (or ought to be) that should have been done at that time.
1. Serpentine belt and all pulleys.
2. Cabin ventilation filter
3. Fuel filter
4. Brake fluid change (it will appear to be a light vanilla color if it was done; if dark/blackish/dark brownish change it.
5. Transmission fluid flush and replace.
6. Flush and replace coolant. Probably will be done while the waterpump is being done. I'd do the thermostat too.
7. Check the condition of the rubber seals on the emergency brake cable ends. If ruptured, moisture gets in and freezes the cable in place so that the emergency brake can't be released; replacement of the cable assy. is the only effective fix. Alternatively, you could wait until the springtime and not apply the emergency brake during the winter months.
8. If the battery is more than 3 years old, it may need to be replaced....check it. They tend to go when you're out at 2 AM someplace where it's not easy to get it fixed.
9. If the struts and shocks are the original they may be due soon. Truthfully, I'd opt for Bilsteins or Koni's, versus OEM.
