Yes, I know it's sort of late in the car's life to be getting a 70,000 mile check, but that interval is approaching. (The car doesn't get driven a whole lot).

I'm a bit of a novice with service/mechanics of vehicles. I think I heard somewhere that the hoses and belts get checked/replaced at this interval, am I right? (Unless they were replaced earlier maybe...I know my timing belt is only four years old).

Anything else I should be expecting at this tuneup other than an oil change since I'm due for one?

 

I would suggest a good tune up (spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, change the coolant, and change the transmission fluid). I say this mainly due to the cars age. Also rotate the tires and even though the timing belt was changed 4 years ago, you might want to at least give it a look over. Lastly, if it has never been done, you will want to change and bleed the brake fluid. Brake fluid is hydroscopic (attracts moisture) and for that reason it is recommended to change it every 2-3 years.

Just my .02
