I recently got a wheel alignment and balance at a different place to my mechanic, and they gave me a massive list of things that needed to be replaced and gave me some quotes, including:
$380 for Broken Engine mounts - which were replaced 25,000km ago, they are perfect.
Rear brakes were apparently at 5 and 6mm showing signs of uneven wear - they were replaced literally the week before. Upon inspection, they are perfect.
$320 for a Center Muffler - fair enough has a bit of a ding, but $320?!
$520 for Power Steering Rack (not including alignment) - yeah it needs doing, but not by these bastards.
AND to add to all this. The tyres with only 10,000km were balanced in such a way that they are in fact worse...
Never again.
