While it's a large chunk of money all at once, you got a good deal! Assuming they used all Toyota / Lexus parts and you got a free loaner for 3 days, even better. You also have a trouble free vehicle that will give you peace of mind for many miles & years to come plus you created a good relationship with a local dealer. 
The belt was I think $165 to replace the serpentine belt, but then I said that I wanted to also change the timing belt they knocked off I think $100. or more because they had to take off & replace the serpentine belt for that job so I wasn't charged double for the same labor. Same with the water pump. If it had been done later then a lot of the same labor would have to be done again.
Plus I also got a free car wash to boot. Now if I can just find a real good place to have my LuxLink installed all will be right with the world. lol

That milage is a little low to need new rotors. They probably could have turned them and save you some $$. And they might have got you on the serpentine belt. Gatorback belts are better than OEM and cost $20 at any parts store. It's a 5 minute job, so hopefully they didn't charge for labor. But overall, that's not a bad deal.

If I had done the brakes earlier no problem, but I waited. Rides very nice hasn't been that smooth for a while. Don't have the tools (jacks & stands) like I did before the move south. So I don't pay attention to things like I used to.

I had my rotors turned at about 50,000 miles. I'm coming up on 85,000 miles now. And expect to get at least 10,000 miles more. So I think 58K is a little low for new rotors. Unless, of course, you put a few thousand miles on them after they start vibrating. Then you'll warp them beyond repair.

with 65,000 miles on my 06, I had to replace the serpentine belt that was cracking so I decided it was time to change the timing belt as well and the dealer found my water pump was leaking when they opened it up!
