Not sure what is recommended at 120K, but if the timing belt has not been changed in the last five years, I would do it regardless of the mileage. It recommended to change the timing belt every 70K or five years whichever comes first.

I changed my T/belt at 85k. When i called a dealership I was told that they would top off the fluids, rotate, clean the injectors, torque?? and change the drive belt(is that the same as the t/belt?

If you are unsure of the maintenance that has been done (outside of the timing belt) and it was my carI would change the oil rotate the tires, change the air and fuel filter, change the transmission fluid, coolant, (check the hoses to see if they neeed replacing, and consider the T-stat as well) change and bleed the brake fluid and throw in a set of sparkplugs and wires.FInally I would clean the battery connections and put a light coat of grease on them to ward off corrosion.If you can do it yourself,it should take about 3-4 hours and cost about $200 in parts.

The drive belt is probably the serpentine belt. The one outside the timing belt case that goes around the power steering pump, the alternator etc etc. Psaboic's recommendations are very good. All that is stuff you should be able to do yourself without much difficutly. If you have any trouble just ask here what to do. Personally I have never done brake fluid though. Other than that, the toughest thing he recommends is the fuel filter and only because it is a pain to get the hoses off, but it is something you should do if it has never been done.
