Tune up can sometimes differ between people. What is he including.

Oil change with Mann filter
fuel filter
Wires, cap
Check or adjust timing
check, add fluids

Drive the van, check over condition of things including brakes, fuel
hoses and such.  does he know the van? if not more time may be needed.

IF this is a first time visit to a new shop I don't 160 is bad. If
you go to him a lot and he know the history some of the smaller time
checks can be cut out.
