Am I being silly ?

Hi Folks - my Mini went into the dealers to day for the following :-

MOT
Check brakes (wear light had come on)
Second brake fluid change
Coolant change
Passenger window problem - doesn't work
Breather pipe replacement (mooooing problem from engine)
Inspection 1 (covered by TLC)

Now, they rang me this morning and said that my rear brakes needed replacing - which was fine - I was expecting that. They also said that the motor for the passenger window needed replacing - again fine.

In total, they have quoted approx £650 for everything mentioned above - is this realistic or am I being done ??
