The dealership lied to me and told me that the dash had to be removed to replace the cabin filter and wanted $89 to replace it. I refused, went home, looked on you tube and found it in the glove box. Bought a filter at the auto parts store for $10. Since then, I look up everything and I don't trust any dealership.

 

My dealership wanted $70 to replace my cabin filter. I can buy a genuine KD45-61-J6X filter from a Mazda dealership through Amazon for $21.44. I assume the dealership is making money on this, even after shipping so the cost to my dealership must be less than $21.44. Even accounting for time, $70 is a rip-off.

 

Ain’t that the truth? That 0.1 hour labor stated above? = to 6 mins. I can change both cabin and engine filters in about that time. Ten minutes, tops. And I’m an old geezer of 70!

It’s exhilarating. And you’ll know it was done correctly, by someone that loves his/her ride.
