Default repair scam?

I have a 2006 Crossfire. I took it to a Fuccillo dealership for an oil change. When I went to pick it up, they said the driver's side front tire was worn almost to the metal. They said it also needed brakes. Now the original oil change is up to $600. Then they called a day later and said a more experienced technician looked at the car to see why the tire wore and said an inner tie rod and outer had to be replaced and something about the steering. They said if it was a Dodge the steering would cost $25 but because it's a Mercedes engine they had to order the entire steering linkage. Now the bill is $1750!!! Does all this sound above board or did they see a girl coming and take advantage? Also, I used to go to a local garage and an oil change cost about $110. The dealership charged $140.
