my car is about to hit 120,000 what should i start looking out for or what type of work should i do?????

timing belt, water pump, oil pump, new valve cover gasket, etc. just keep a close eye on it and do regular maintenance and you should be fine.

Look at getting all the fluids changed. Tranny, transfer case, rear diff, and brake fluid if they haven't been changed recently. Now's also the point to look into changing the timing belt and all that goes along with that. And while your at it, check your brakes and tires.

It's not going to suddenly start breaking down at 120,001 miles if you don't do all this, but you should look at getting this done in the near future.

120,000 miles, that's so 100,000 miles ago.

Unless he gave you paperwork showing it was done I would have a shop check the belt out they should be able to tell you for sure unless there a shotty shop then even if it was changed they might try to make a few bucks off of you so make sure its one you trust. I am having mine done in a couple weeks because my crank seal is leaking and my mechanic changes all that when he does the timing belt so I am having mine done at 100k and that might have been the case with yours but if the belt is fine I would just have all the fluids and accessory belts changed.

I hate when others do timing belts. You never know what crappy belt they put on it.

Did he just change the timing belt or did he also change the rest of the timing components (tensioner and such)?

I hate the fact you have to worry about everything the previous owner did to these cars or what there shotty mechanics did to them.
