Are you handy at all with cars and tools? If so and you don't mind getting a bit dirty, you can find the procedures to do most of these things by searching the various forums. I know "time is money" but if you go to the stealership you need to take some KY jelly because they are most likely going to ream you!
Excluding the p410 problem, if you went to the Buckhead/Atlanta GA stealership I conservatively estimate your list would run you $935 plus tax and would not be surprised if they jacked it up more. Missouri might be a little less. Time to find a good indie mechanic or do it yourself? Where do you live in Missouri? Maybe someone can give you a recommendation for a good indie.
Think about getting a set of car ramps, the w202 Haynes manual (#3511) and some torx bits and studs for your socket wrench set. FWIW, www.autohausaz.com has consistently good pricing on MB maintenance parts and free shipping over $50.

Find an Indie
shop where you are,have them change the oil and filter.The secondary air pump code has no affect on drive ability it is a emissions related code.Have the coolant level and quality checked,make sure your spare is full of air.
Drive home.....Then find a good indie shop at home and at your leisure chip away at the other issues.

you will need to have the check valve or the fuse in the air pump fixed in Ca before you can be smog tested so remember that when you get home.
