A major tune up consists of replacing spark plugs (Platinum or Iridium), air filter, fuel filter, PCV valve, spark plug wires & perhaps a throttle body cleaning. The rear 3 spark plugs are a pain in the butt from what I have been told, so you might want to get your mechanic to perform this task. Good Luck! If you need spark plug numbers for your 94 ES, let me know......I have the current NGK catalogue.

LexusFreak is Right about the rear spark plug wires.. it's a Pain in the ***.. make sure you pull it by the BOOT and never by the WIRE... or buy yourself a tool that can handle it.. you don't really need a pro to change spark plugs and wires.. but be very careful .

if you read the DIY on top of the ES 300 Forums. you're see i wrote up a warnning about the wires. good luck.
