Default Opinion on work done-price?

The car is a 1996 Concorde LXI with 95703 miles. I saw the parts and
know the work was needed. I'm just asking if the price charged is good,
average or too high? Work performed by a NAPA auto store. All work done
in one day.

Lube oil filter $22.00 Check vehicle tune up for rough idle. Replace
plugs and wires. Replace PCV valve and fuel filter. Clean throttle
plates, replace PCV hoses. Inspect front end and brakes. Replace outer
tire rod ends and inner tie rod bushings. Check four wheel alignment
and adjust. Total labor $280.00

Parts listil, filter and plugs. Platinum spark plugs, spark plug
wires, PCV valve and fuel filter, one serpentine belt, one PCV vent
tube, two #64 hose clamps, one 705-1024 hose clamp, two #40 hose
clamps, two 269-2934 outer tie rod ends, one 274-9223 inner tire rod
bushing kit, one foot 5/8 inch PCV hose. Subtotal parts $293.86

LOF $22.00
Labor $280.00
Parts $293.86
Tax $41.72 7%

Total $637.58 Thanks for any opinions

My only question is if all those parts were needed to correct the rough
idle. If the PCV valve and hoses were original, it was probably time
for replacement. Same for the fuel filter, and serpentine belt.
