I cant imagine they would misdiagnose as they a pretty large professional service center with multiple mechanics...
A few people have now mentioned that it isn't something that occurs with that amount of mileage though which makes it quite questional. I would also have to basically pay double the price I intended to because it was only due for a service. Thank you @ DannoXYZ for the helpful info, much appreciated.

I think you may have answered your own question. Big dealership, lots of mechanics and staff in general and big overhead costs. Professional yes but perhaps with a tendency to over service on occasion when things are a bit quite. I would get a second opinion on the cam chain or compared how your engine sounds to a similar one. If it is in fact the drive chain and sprockets they are referring to well fair enough as they can easily wear out by that sort of mileage.
