1) If you have jumper cables, or AAA, or your insurance has roadside support, forget it. Keep that battery until the car won't start.
2) Maybe, if the belt is as old as the car, but this is very easy to do yourself.
3) pfft
4) I think this is a 100k item. Get one for $5 and install it yourself if you want to. Way easy. It's right there under the plastic shroud on top of the engine.
5) If you want. Nothing bad is likely to happen if you don't, especially with such low mileage. Many people don't actually do this on their cars, ever...
6) They want to change your cabin air filter. Good idea, but do it yourself. It's behind the glove box, takes 30 seconds to change out.
7) pfft

--So why do it now if it is a 100K item?

--Yes, did change Engine Air Filter but think I might have missed replacing Cabin Air Filter. The term A/C Vent kind of threw me off there.
