General Maintenance question

[Mxylplyx]

So I got a 2000 GMC Jimmy that I bought at 12K miles, and a 2001 accord that I bought from the dealer at 33K miles. They are now at 75K and 83K miles respectively. So far, the only things I've done maintenance wise on these cars is as follows.

Accord:
rear brake pads
regular oil changes
air filter changes

Jimmy:
Replaced all brakes and rotors. Also replaced rear sticking caliper.
Flushed brake fluid.
Replaced serpentine belt
regular oil changes
air filter changes
Replaced alternator
Replaced thermostat.
Recharged A/C coolant.

All of the work listed above is stuff I've done myself. I have not done any transmission or fuel filter stuff on them. Dont know what the service history on the accord is. I figure it's about time for both of these cars to have some general service done on them, especially with the transmission.

What should I have done on these vehicles to keep them running for a good long time. They both run great right now. Is there anything I've completely missed the boat on, or am I just the typical lazy person when it comes to car maintenance?

If you don't have the owners's manual, register your Accord on automobiles.honda.com to get the entire recommended service schedule. The auto on my 2003 Accord V6 doesn't require anything done to it for like 120,000 miles, though I'll probably have the fluid flushed earlier to be on the safe side. But, basically, the 2003+ models don't require anything but oil/oil filter/air filter changes for 105,000 miles. Can't speak for the earlier generation, but the manual and/or honda website should tell you everything you need to know.

I've looked through the manual, and it pretty much sais check this and check that at various service intervals. I guess I'm lazy, because I dont usually start checking something until it's showing a problem.

Call your local honda dealer service department and see what they recommend.If it were my car,I would service the transmission and change the brake fluid and fuel filter for sure.
That should have a timing belt and the water pump is probably timing belt driven.With 83k miles on the car it may need to be replaced soon along with the water pump,coolant and the drive belts.If it does not have platinum or iridium plugs,they should be changed too.If it has a distributor cap and rotor change those and the plug wires.Use factory parts.Aftermarket are not near Honda quality and will cause you headaches.Except spark plugs(NGK aftermarket) and air filter(whatever brand you prefer).
Good Luck.
