I would not put a 18 year old car into a main Dealers, your going to be bent over and raped!

for 100K service I would expect

Brake fluid changed £10 if you do it yourself
oil and filter change £35 quid for decent semi synth and filter
fuel filter change £ 7
hand brake tightened - pig to do - get them to do this
new brake pads and discs (if needed) - easy job £200 quid though on parts for decent pads and discs
coolent change - £15 if you use generic concerntraite coolent and do it yourself - chances are the dealer wont know how to do a MR2 correctly
Washer fluid top up - £3
Timming checked and Valve shimms adjusted to spec ££££

for £350 if they are only replacing fluids then over 200 of that is labor!

I used to use the local T dealership for servicing purely to keep up the SH on my 1997 mr2Gti. Any faults they print out the list of problems and cost , then i just go to my local back street garage to sort out what was really needing sorted at a fraction of the price .

Generally i find the Toyots dealership to be pretty honest as it's a small family run business.
