His mother found a good deal on 4 new BF Goodrich Assurance sport T/A with the TPMSF symbol at Sams Club for $80.00 off and there is a local shop where they will get it aligned that has a Hunter alignment machine and will mount the tires. The young man is paying for half, and was shocked at the price. She has a set of those on her Murano, and I have a set of those on my CR-V and we are both very pleased with there performance in snow.
Other items on the list are Trany fluid and filter at a very good trany shop - ( Toyota fluid levels are a little tricky to get correct ), rear end fluid, brake fluid flush, caliper pins ( or bushings ) cleaned and lubed, parking brake cables greased, radiator drain and fill - probably with Toyota brand coolant, PCV valve replacement with Toyota part, starter rebuild by a very reliable local rebuild shop, battery test, check serpentine belt with Gates belt check tool - and if it needs replaced then along with replacing the belt also the tensioner and pulley, check engine air cleaner, check cabin air cleaner. Among other things he is going to put in the vehicle is a digital air gauge. I am going to see that he gets 3 gallons of -25 F windshield fluid before he leaves for school in the fall. That is the lowest temp fluid that NAPA had last fall. And have him empty out the current fluid and fill with the colder rated fluid for being in the Cleveland area.
I have not been to there house yet since they got the RAV4, and it will be two weeks before my second shot and two weeks after that for it to totally kick in, but then I will get more involved. They bought it from a dealer who gave them a Car-Fax history, so they will not be repeating any services that were recently done. The dealer probably changed the oil and filter but that will get checked.
It came with a 3 month / 3,000 mile warranty.

Can anyone think of any other items we missed?
