Please check the image below for more information, knowing that the car was running good before I took it the garage I had 1 Issue: the car was shutting off sometimes at low speed or on steering to full left and on reversing.

I just want to know if this quotation has reasonable labor prices or no, and what is (important to be changed in the car and what can be neglected) since some workshops they try to add unwanted stuff to fill up the list to increase the cost.

The mechanical guy replaced one spark plug and left the others unchanged (the car was shaking hardly he basically made the car worse)

For the experts ;) please look at the prices of the products and the labor charges and give me an advice.
It will help me a lot Thanks

Knowing that the price is in AED which is:
1USD=3.67AED
1£=5.1AED

Thank you for the currency conversion. It looks like this is about $3,600.00 US Dollars. That does not sound extremely high for all this work but the only thing I am not sure about is how much they are charging for labor. The parts prices are pretty standard and most shops only charge a small handling fee if anything. The labor is where they make their money so that is what you want to make sure stays in line.

However, with the prices of the parts it doesn't look like it is too out of line. If you can tell me how much they charge per hour, I will have a better idea if they are high according to the standards we have over here.

Thanks
