Am I being taken advantage of?

Can't be sure about no drain plug for the diffs, but I highly doubt it. However, be sure the dealer is planning to replace the transmission pan/filter. I got a quote for the dealer for $600 to change the fluid incl parts. I thought that was pretty reasonable and questioned if that included the changing the pan because the filter is integrated with the pan. They didn't know that and came back with a price of $900 for the service. Said no thanks.
