Brake pads - no need to replace until the sensors trip, 'almost' means not touching yet.
Brake rotors - check the lip. If there is a pronounced lip it's time to replace them. But 40k seems WAY too early especially the rear.
Brake flush - 40k seems early as well. I did mine at 80k. But I'm in CA where it's not as humid as TX. I'd say do it since it's cheap. Same for coolant.
Oil change - no reason to change every 5k. 8-10k is perfectly fine.

His prices are pretty inline with other indies. Price for brakes seems to point to OE parts. You can save a bit going with Zimmerman or Meyle. Save another $200 DIYing the air and cabin filters.
