Hello Alex,

Here is the list of the recommendation

#1 Performing BG trottle body service to remove carbon buil inside the intake system $91
#2 air flow meter service to remove carbon and deposit $80
#3 Brake flush $131
#4 Drain and fill rear differential $144
# cabin filter and ultrasonic mist to clean vehicle's vent and remove molds $136
Thank you again for giving me the privilege of serving you. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
Service 1 and 2 are kind of a scam. If you have carbon in your throttle body, you have bigger problems. Generally those two services are just spraying some cleaner on the throttle body, and pouring in some fuel injector cleaner.

#3 and #4 are almost reasonably priced. A little on the higher side, but not too crazy. They're not bad ideas at your mileage, that's for sure.

#5: you can change the cabin air filter yourself. It's like a $20 dollar filter, and takes all of 5 minutes. The mold and vent cleaning is likely unnecessary, unless if you smell mold or mildew. If you don't smell it, skip it.
