i think pricing is very steep and is the problem a lot of porsche owners face ( high prices for simple projects) many of the items on your list are easy for the first timer to do.
if you think this pricing is reasonable think what you will be willing to pay for a valve adjustment or "testing " the system.
I agree with the others find a new shop and always ask about the pricing to do some comparisons...when you find a good shop stick with them and don't always try to work them down as building a good relationship is what its all about...a little give and take by both sides ( i think many good shops work on word of mouth) in my opinion getting the big payoff once with no repeat business is not wise .
the larger issue is you and some others may think the pricing is fair(maybe it is , i think it isn't), if you can tackle these little things you can save the money for the "big" ticket items that you will soon encounter.
