tune-up prices

My gs is in the possesion of my mother while im gone on deployment. She took to a mechanic yesterday to get a quote, the damn mechanic said it would cost $600 for a tune-up. I wanted to hit you guys up to find out an approx price so i'm not getting ripped off.

All he said was spark plugs, a/c check, and fluid changes.

i found this web page which details all the maintenance by model/ year/ mileage and has prices... i am sure this is somewhat common knowledge but during my last 90k this list saved me about 500$ by getting the same things checked and serviced at a normal shop over having a lexus mechanic do it.
