63k service does have some additional items, but that is insane. Have you tried getting a quote from an independent shop?

What region are you in? There are suggestions for good independents in the forums and I'm sure folks will chime in here.

Get online and download the JLR official checklist for the 60k service for your vehicle. And then tell the dealer to provide you a quote on those items on the list. Many dealers add a bunch of additional items that are not on the JLR checklist and charge you handsomely on those additional items.

The Marin and esp the SF JLR dealership on Geary are utterly ridiculous when it comes to pricing. I stopped going to LR SF when I lived there pre-pandemic, mostly because they charged me $4k for a similar 48K (I think?) service on my old SVR, which was nothing more than routine fluid changes. They also charged me a couple grand for software updates on a 10 month old RRS (not the SVR). My fault for not asking how much in advance and assuming software updates would be free on a less than 1 year old expensive Rover.

I'm pretty sure they looked at my home address and decided to price accordingly. I get annoyed when "ability to pay" is a pricing philosophy.

As for your service... let's break down their quote:

YES TO:
Multi Point Inspection
Drain and Refill Engine Oil
Replace Engine Oil Filter
Replace Engine Air Filter Element
Replace Cabin Air Filter
Replace Spark Plugs
Vehicle Road Test
Perform Brake Fluid Exchange
Perform Differential Fluid Exchange Service
Drain and Refill Transfer Case Fluid
Perform Throttle Body Cleaning Service

NO TO:
Replace Brake Lines (even though it says this it's utterly ridiculous and completely wasteful in this day and age to replace the soft rubber brake hoses in 2-3 years... when did you get it, 2020?).
Install Premium Engine Treatment (absolutely not this is absolutely not recommended nor supported by LR)
Install Ultra Fuel System Treatment (same as above)
Install Windshield Washer Solvent (are you kidding me no)
Perform Battery Protection Cleaning Service (complete bs -- the battery is under the seat)
Install Anti Corrosive Battery Pads (literally a TSB from JLR recommending not to do this on their products a few years back)
Install Enhance fuel System Cleaner (again absolutely not)
Perform A/C Odor Treatment service (not needed unless there is a problem)
Perform Crank Case Cleaning Service (huh? the crank case? in the bottom of the engine? um. No)
Perform Mass Air Flow Cleaning Service (nope)

Just did mine at the dealer two weeks ago doing all the recommended items. 1100 out the door, but I do have a p300 without all the extras.
