Next time get a second opinion - preferably at an independent mechanic - before letting anyone do that much work on the car. The serp belt should be changed about every 50K miles. However, it's a $35 part and a half hour of labor. As to the "induction service" ? I've never heard of that service. A "tune up" ? About the only thing that can be changed would be the spark plugs and air filter. There is typically nothing to adjust. It is possible that you need something cleaned or some engine controls replaced but they should be listed as such. Personally, I think the dealer took you for a bundle of services that were not really anything substantial. But, it's hard to say that definitively unless we know more of what they did and why.
