What exactly is the dealer "Major Fuel System Service"?

PERFORMED MAJOR FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
CLEANED FUEL INJECTORS, INTAKE VALVES, FUEL RAIL, COMBUSTION CHAMBER, THROTTLE PLATE AND VALVE.....$165.95

I'm betting it's some version of Seafoam. Am I right or way off here?

The only thing is the cleaning that they are talking about is also removing the intake hose and cleaning the throttle by hand since there is no way that seafoam or any other "injection cleaner" will get the throttle plate since it requires vacuum to get sucked into the engine.

hahahahaha, last time I was at the dealer the service rep was trying to get me to buy this. I told him that I use seafoam, etc.. and he told me that they use a different cleaner that is better than that.
