10,000 mile service

Hi All,

I wonder if you could give me some advice. I've had my Yaris for a 1 year in February and have put about 7000 miles on it. I have my 10,000 service coming up. I went to the dealership at my 6 month mark and this is what they did for the price of $54.99:

- Replace engine oil (up to 7 qts.) and oil filter per factory specifications
- Inspect fluids and fill as required
- Inspect tires and adjust tire pressure as required
- Inspect air filter cleaner
- Inspect brakes and brake system per factory requirements
- Inspect suspension components (e.g. CV boots, steering linkage tie-rod ends, ball joints) as appropriate and required by factory
- Rotate tires
- Perform multi-point vehicle safety and maintenance inspection

I went on the dealership website to make an appointment for the 10,000 mile service and here is what they recommend for the whopping price of $119.99:

- Replace engine oil and oil filter per factory specifications
- Inspect fluids and fill as required
- Inspect tires and adjust tire pressure as required
- Replace air filter
-Replace Cabin air filter
- Inspect suspension components (e.g. CV boots, steering linkage tie-rod ends, ball joints) as appropriate and required by factory
- Rotate tires
- Perform multi-point vehicle safety and maintenance inspection
Inspect wiper arms--belts & hoses

So my question is, do you think the extra money and service is really necessary?
