Default Is this quote for 90k service reasonable

Dealership quoted me $465 parts and labor for 90K service which will include:

Oil change and oil filter change (non-synthetic)
Change Pollen Filter , Air Filter. (They did not mention anything about changing the fuel filter or climate control filter)
Change Brake Fluid
Inspect brakes
Change spark plugs
Check suspension(control arms)
Rotate tires if necessary
Vag the car.

Is this price normal for what is included?

I have a vag-com so maybe I should tell them not to Vag it and save an hours charge of labor?

Whaddaya think?

tia.

Default Sounds about right... but we do more for a major service for $525

The Major Service should be performed at 30,000 mile intervals. Pro-Imports performs the following for this service:

Your next oil change is free with this service (synthetic oil is extra).
Free rental car for the day is also supplied with this service (up to a mid-size vehicle, upgrades additional).

1. Change engine oil and filter.
2. Install oil supplement which "modifies friction" and reduces engine wear.
3. Check and top off all fluid levels.
4. Inspect brake system and lines.
5. Adjust rear brakes and emergency brake.
6. Inspect suspension and driveshaft components.
7. Inspect exhaust systems for leaks.
8. Check tire wear, rotate tires, and inflate tires.
9. Check battery condition and terminals for corrosion.
10. Check operation of all lights.
11. Check air filter, replace if necessary.
12. Check all hoses, belts, fuel lines.
13. Change front and rear axle oil (if applicable).
14. Change manual transmission and transfer case (if applicable).
15. Change spark plugs.
16. Replace distributor cap and rotor, check coil or coil packs.
17. Inspect front wheel bearings for excessive play.
18. Adjust intake and exhaust valve clearances (if applicable).
19. Replace valve cover gasket.
20. Replace transmission fluid.
21. Adjust drive belts' tension.
22. Replace cabin filter (if applicable).
23. Replace wiper inserts or blades
24. Replace rear differential fluid.
25. Replace fuel filter.
26. Flush braking system.
27. Flush power steering fluid.
28. Lubricate all locks and hinges.
