Buy an OBD reader from Advance Auto or equivalent for $35; check your codes yourself and next time just tell them what to fix.

Several codes won't activate engine light and I believe fast idle speed is one. And that one will require reprogramming by dealer. See 11-257 in service manual. I still think your fast idle is too low.
Still you need to know if all codes are really off before going to dealer..

Does it have a rough idle when it's cold? How many miles on the odometer?
