Seems like a normal ripoff to me from a dealer, but e9999s dead on. The first nine items essentially say an oil change and a couple air filters, and a squirt of grease but agree the wheel bearing is a puzzler. If you call them and ask about that, I'll bet you $1 they'll say "Oh, if they seem to need repacking, we'll do it otherwise you'd be good to go"

Also be advised many dealerships ignore a lot items on these intervals. You think they're doing all the items at the XX,XXX checkup and write them a check based on that, but dealerships are not required and can do their 'own' XX,XXX checkup items. So I'd clarify - especially that wheel bearing thing as having them done would make $500 worth it. I seriously doubt that's included. If they do it, be ready for the 3pm call "Sir, your brakes are badly worn. We need to machine the rotors and replace the pads for another $478...."
