Hmmm - both the $80 and the $400 seem high, but it's probably due to regional differences - I can see Alexandria being an expensive place to live.
As for the services, I'd suggest you look over the maintenance schedule and decide which ones are more meaningful than others. Many are just an oil change and a hand-full of 'inspections', but some include various other filters, spark plugs, fluid changes, etc.
Personally, I'm a miser, so I do my own oil changes in the summer and go to the garage at the end of the block in the winter. The other stuff I try to do on my own. PA has a mandatory annual safety inspection, so much of the 'inspection stuff' happens then.
