Holden Astra 2006: How much should servicing cost?

My mechanic tells me my 2006 Holden Astra Bertone is a special edition with a great motor. But it has now done over 210,000 km and he says it needs a lot of immediate work. He has quoted me the following for parts only in order of work needed to be done: brakes with rotors $377, tyres pair between $231 to $491, rear shocks $385, front and rear engine mounts $988, headlights between $506 - $840. Do you think this is reasonable pricing?

I would first question the need to do some of the work he is saying is urgent, and would suggest you have another mechanic check the car for you. If you are in the RACQ you could have them check it for you, at least to give some peace of mind.
