Fair price?

I just went to a shop in Irvine to get my car serviced because i was in a hurry bc of leaking oil but i paid $600 for this:

Timing belt, Alternator belt.. etc.. All belts changed
Valve Cover Gasket
Camshaft/Crankshaft seals
Fuel Pump Seal
Waterpump
Spark Plugs
Transmission oil pan

Does this sound like i paid a fair price? thanks
btw car was poorly taken care of.

Now they probably changed all your oils when they did this.
If they used all Premium (Toyota) parts and you have a V6, you win. That is the best I have ever heard.

But I'm going to hazard that you have a four. Still a pretty fair deal.

Hows it running now? Must feel like a different car.

I went to the only asian place in Irvine i can find. (i am asian btw). Talked to the guy a while before gettin it done. Car runs like new.. no rough idle, smooth acceleration through all gears, feels slightly stronger than before.
