Default Good Deal?

Well, I'm finally taking my A6 in for the 60,000 maintenance. Is the following a good deal?

It's an independant shop that I found and has had pretty good reviews. They do aftermarket performance upgrades as well and have discounts on all their services if you are a member of one of the local clubs. They charge 95 per hour and the service is a 2.7 hour job. He said if the spark plugs need to be replaced, he can get me platinums for 17 bucks per piece. I'm not sure where he came up with the figure but he said it would be in the 400 dollar range for the entire service if it needed the plugs? Does this sound a little steep to anyone? We called another place at it was going to be 611 for the whole service if it needed the spark plugs. Does anyone have any ball park prices for the 60,000 service?

You can never get a solid answer from anyone at the stealership about what is included in the service. I honestly have no idea what is included?

plugs should be good till 100,000 miles (platinum)
check the Diffs

brake check
suspension check,
