Looks pretty normal for 2nd service, if I'm reading the time allocated and services performed correctly, including, inspection, brake fluid replacement, cabin air filter. Only thing that might be considered extra is the charge for M-MDS, but that could be fair.

I wonder how their hourly rate compares to others, that might explain it in part.

Well Mazda says dealers should charge 1.2 hours for the 2nd inspection for the MX-30, seems like they did that, maybe slightly more?

If I'm reading the invoice correctly, the total amount of work you are being billed for is 1.5 hours, total €217,2 so €144,8 per hour without tax, (€173,3 per hour withi tax, total 258,4) like it states in the invoice.

The 1.2 hours figure, is the suggested time for the 2nd service, for which it looks like they put 1.3 hours, you could ask them the reason for that, then there is work not included in the service.

Having said all that, I do agree that it is a bit on the high price.

My 20000 km service was 74 euros but the brake fluid was not changed. I wonder why brake fluid is changed on 7800km?

I believe according to Mazda maintenance schedule, brake fluid should be changed every 40000km or 2 years, whichever comes first.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, so it's more about the age rather than the milage.
