Dealerships love to charge you for more than your need. What did they want to do for that much? The schedule calls for an inspection of a few components (brakes, suspension,etc), oil change, and a tire rotation. Personally, I do my own inspections and tire rotations. I let the dealership handle fluid changes and other maintenance (belts, plugs, etc).

Keep in mind that you shouldn't neglect periodic inspections. If you're not comfortable doing them on your own, you should consider having someone (i.e. the dealership) do it for you. ......but it will cost you.
