it sounds acceptable but not the most competitive price. what make are the tyres that they have put on?
maybe a tad expensive tbh after a quick count up on how much it has cost me for certain parts of what you have had done.
service - £120ish?
mot - £50
3 tyres, depends on tyres say £90 + fitting so £115
then £200ish for the rest seems steep

does seem a little steep tbh, but as a pointer, keep an eye on the CV gaitor as it is only a temp repair and will soon come off, then CV will dry ip and you'll need a new Driveshaft anyway ;)
just a tip for you :p
