Just got my maxima worked on at the shop, did I get a good deal?

I know the guy pretty well, he claimed he was giving me a killer deal... but I honestly have no idea. I know he game me some pretty good prices but could I have done better other than doing the work myself?

I got- 2 new OEM front struts and all bushings replaced
2 new OEM front brake pads
All brake rotors turned
Spark plugs changed (ngk)
Oil sending unit replaced (it was leaking)
Both accesory belts replaced
Fuel injectors cleaned
New keyless entry remote and programming (the people I bought the car from lost their remote)
Dome light replaced
Fuel system cleaner added to gas

Price including all parts, labor, and tax was $560.50

So did I do good getting that total (like he said) or is that nothing special??

I think you pretty much paid what it was worth. I guess by giving you a good deal, it meant that he just didn't screw you like he does his other customers

But it will tell me if I should make a point to go back to this same guy again.

That price seems about right. You could have done some of that yourself and saved some money.
