So the bike cleaning is really not about cleaning, it is about looking at the frame for any cracks or dents or issues on it. A clean bike is important but that is something anyone can do at home, the shop really should be doing it with a standard tune to see if everything is safe. Those prices seem pretty low so not a bad deal if the work is done reasonably well. A suspension fork would be wiped down but there is really not much that could be done for that low suspension stuff generally needs to be serviced and that is a separate job and one many shops don't do as the equipment isn't cheap and having someone trained up can also get expensive. For shop like that I would guess it doesn't make sense.

You may check with another shop but it does seem like that shop is pretty low on pricing so something to consider.
