1999 Volvo S70 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 148000 miles

I have a 1999 Volvo s70 (5-cylinder), and I have to get several repairs done. Could you please tell me if the estimate I received sounds reasonable?
1. Rebuild Control Module- $420.00
2. Replace Tie Rods- $544.00
3. Replace Lower Ball Joints- $528
4. Alignment- $70.00
5. Replacing filters (including cabin filter)- 0.00
6. Oil Change + topping off other fluids- @39.00
Total= $1,569.00
+ Sales Tax
GRAND TOTAL= $1,676.00

Can you please tell me if this sounds reasonable?
Thank you.

You need to put down what they are charging for labor and parts separate. Some independent shops can charge as little as $70.00 per hour versus a dealership that could be charging you $150.00 an hour plus whatever they are charging on parts?
