I said "no thanks, I have only 20k on my car so far!" However, I (now think, foolishly) settled on a "20k mile service" which included an oil and oil filter change, tire rotation, cabin air filter and engine air filter replacement. It came to $250, which is a lot more than I'm used to spending for maintenance at only 20k. In fact, even the simple "5k mile" service (oil change and filter, tire rotation) came to $119.95! Is Mazda now charging a lot more (or pushing upsells) for each service because the cars have to come in less frequently? Thanks for your thoughts!

Seems to make sense, since it includes 10 service visits which means it is $75/visit and includes everything needed for the first 5 years. The disadvantage is you pay upfront, the advantage is that there will be no service fee increase for the next 5 years since the price is locked in.
