which they do at any oil change place when getting an oil change... so i dont really see why i have to spend 700 for that...?
That is all you get for $700? Something isn't right.

My worse case SWAG is around $405.
I always use coupons and discounts I receive in the mail, so you can get it lower,

change oil and oil filter - $19.95 coupon + $10 hemi adder = $30
replace air filter - I think MSRP and tax is around $25, but I might be too low.
spark plugs on 5.7 - Maybe $5-per plug x 16 = $80
rotate tires - I never have dealer do this, but I estimate $30

I don't have a clue how long it takes to "inspect" these things.
My guess, no more than 30 minutes, so worse case around $60.
But I think some of these are free under the FREE 23 (or 16 point) point inspection. So these inspections should be zero cost, or very low.
check transmission fluid
check coolant level, hose, and clamps
inspect exhaust system
inspect brake hose
inspect CV joints and front and rear suspension compenents

Changing the plugs isn't listed, but I estimated 1.5 hours x $120 per hour = $180
