Question First Service CDI

Hi all. I will be going in for my first service (A) at approx 13K miles. While not disputing the cost involved with servicing such a great and technologically sophisticated car, I find that $250 US seems very pricey. When asking what would be involved the SA staed it was hard to say over the phone but most likely checking fluids and of course the oil/filter change. Let me know if I'm way off center on this.
TIA
Jay
