Question Help! My Car needs a Tune up!

I need a full tune up for my SC 400...135,000 mi
I was hoping to maybe get some feed back on:

. Where can I start?
. What can be done?
. What are the recomended parts (brand names) if they need to be changed?
. Is there anything specific that I should look into?

If anyone have any ideas I would love to hear them, and if you have good connections for the parts
let me know

I was hoping to maybe get some feed back on:

. Where can I start? Your local Lexus or Toyota dealer service center, or a trusted local independent mechanic
. What can be done? this is a bit general. How much do you want to spend? If this car is new to you, I would would get it inspected by your local Lexus service center and see what items they reccommend. I would imagine plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires, brake pads, timing belt, all fluids, are items that should be checked or changed.
. What are the recomended parts (brand names) if they need to be changed? Lexus/Toyota OEM. Accept no substitutes.
. Is there anything specific that I should look into? if your mechanical knowledge is limited, stick with the reccommendations of a trusted qualified mechanic

If anyone have any ideas I would love to hear them, and if you have good connections for the parts
let me know

Here is where you can get OEM parts:
