If labor is included it seems pretty legit...I know it cost me like 200 to get my brake line replaced on one wheel of my broke ass truck.

Uh that's fine, but buying a service manual and some tools would be much cheaper.

Tranny fluid including labor shouldn't be more than about $40.
Is rotating a separate fee than balancing? If they are charging you for balancing they sure as hell better not charge you extra to rotate them.

State inspection is okay(I actually thought it was more than that)
Air Filter is about right
Transmission fluid is good(I paid $79 for mine)
Tire rotation and balancing(I think this price is high)
I have no idea for the big stuff, search the net and compare

You pay for your state inspection sticker? Can't you just go to DMV and get it for free?
