    Most shops will not charge for estimates. Plugs, wires, maybe needed. Oil change definitely. A transmission tune-up may be nothing more than changing the oil. Are you sure you need hoses and belts? Fluid change, apart from engine oil, could be just topping up the brake fluid, power steering, coolant. From your list, having a shop do all that could run as high as the value of your vehicle. You can check your battery free at an auto parts shop. Add the fuel system cleaner fluid yourself. What's wrong with the temperature sensor gauge? What filters are you changing other than oil? Please find a trusted mechanic and have him do the basics. You cannot make a 1990 Dakota Single Cab 4x4 perfect. If you have been driving this vehicle everyday for quite some time, it probably will keep going for some time more with basic maintenance. Taking it easy on your trip can get you there safely and economically. Good luck
