More info please:
  • How many miles on the car?
  • Has all preventative and normal maintenance by been completed per schedule?
  • Do you have an option other than the dealer?
  • Do you have the skills to check on some of the supposedly worn items yourself or have a buddy who does?
The laundry list of repairs seems suspicious itself (as in a lot of made up stuff), the fact the main issue to be repaired wasn't listed adds to my suspicion, and then the "Brake Shoe" really made me question things.

Brake shoes are used on drum brakes--these cars have 4 wheel disk brakes. So that's a huge red flag right there. "Fault in the SMG pump?" As in it's damaged, the fluid was low (maybe an easy fix), there's a leak, or what? "Blower Unit"? I'm guessing that's the circulation fan for the A/C and ventilation--is that actually broken?

I'd get a second opinion if I could.
