The service adviser should have explained it better, and provided a quote even before work started. But often the service adviser does not know much more than yourself.
Unfortunately there is 2 fuel filters, both listed to be replaced in a service sometime, probably the 80,000km one you got. One filter is a regular fuel filter in the engine bay. The other is in the fuel tank. They remove the rear seat to access the fuel tank.
The washer additive of $0.60 could be questioned, and you could get a refund if it wasn't on your quote. Its little I know, but these are the sneaky ways dealerships jack up the price.
"Toyota EFI cleaner" may be crap, not sure. At our dealership we use Wynns injecta-clean. Maybe its good but maybe its not. Know one knows. Somehow I doubt its genuine Toyota stuff. If its not on the quote, debate this cost and get them to refund you. Its actualy a small bottle of liquid that goes in the fuel tank. Its not part of the Toyota service listed in your service book. Another add on!!!
The longlife coolant is good stuff that you need. 3 liters of concentrate, mixed with 3 liters of water, which is then feed into the cooling system to replace the old. The level you see if just the overflow resovoir. Its ment to be about half full. The actual coolant used is in the engine and radiator.
If they didn't ring you about the tyre, get them to show the actual invoice from the tyre company relating to your vehicle. If they don't have one, then try and get out of paying for that.
