yeah thats pretty much all you need to do on a typical tune up really, and its all pretty cheap if you do it yourself, just check your fluids and clean everything up pretty much.

i took my car to a shop cause its a lot of work. but if you do plan on changing the timing belt, might as well get a new water pump. you'll save yourself a lot of money if that were to go bad. how many miles are on your DA and do you know when the timing belt was last changed

everything else is relitvly simple and you can do yourself but if you are not confident enough its best to get a proffesional to do it. nothin worse than messing up your car lol but if you do it yourself the belts are best left to shops, they are pretty tricky and most lickly need tensioning.

replacing belts is easy. Loosen the AC tensioner from the top of your car, and alternator. Same thing with your power steering pump. Shouldn't take you any longer than half-hour.
