You are being realistic and I hear your situation. I'm 56 and fortunately, right now, I can still get under the car and work on it (It's taking more time to get back out from under then I remember). I came into this car, like many here (I suspect) that I need to do my own work or it just wasn't going to happen. So many of us come at your original post by looking up or knowing the cost of parts, because as DIYers that's the process and seeing what $3k would buy.
You have the invoice, you could look up parts costs and do the math and see if you were charge fairly. If you are satisfied, then you have your shop and a place to go if something breaks. If my car goes belly up in the near future, I have no clue where I would go. Right now I would have to have the tow truck drop it off at my house and just push into garage
Quite honestly I have never even looked to see what a 90k service would include.
Why - because by the time I reach 90k miles (I'm at 81k now so 90k maybe a 1+ years and the car will be 15+ years old) I hope to have replaced most of the notorious wear parts
Enjoy the ride.
