If they do the job right, it'll take several hours and they will check the torque on all of your fasteners, radiator hose clamps, throttle cable adjustment, idle adjustment, and a few other minor things.
Want to have some fun? When you pull into their parking lot, unplug the brake light wire from the front brake and see if they catch it.
Put a chalk mark on the bottom of your oil filter and see if it's still there.
My personal opinion? Spend the $55 on the service manual and to the work yourself. You'll save a lot of money, you'll know it's done and done right, and you'll get to know your bike so when you have a problem on the highway you may not have to call for a tow.

My bike had the foot pegs switched around when I bought it so that instead of wearing down the metal when I touched down...it would wear down the rubber pad...
Needless to say, I'm not confident in my dealer's ability to work on my bike...
I'm looking into that manual...got the 7500 mile service coming up soon.
