I think you got a good price on the tensioner assembly and guide roller. I got my water pump from NAPA for <$75. Inspection and sales tax, well, not much you can say there. As far as coolant, you paid $17 for a less than 1.5 gal (capacity of 7.2L), maybe a bit much? I paid approx $35 for my serp belt (NAPA).
Labor, $180, well, that's why I try to do my own work. You were over a barrel, so I don't think there's much you could have done or can do at this point.
It was prudent to get it done while they were in there, but the cost, $900, for a free belt change, must feel like salt on a wound.
My free timing belt change was free, but approx 12K miles later, the tensioner failed. Fortunately, I heard the noise and no other damage.
