You gotta remember that they all gotta have their smoke breaks and lunch and so forth that there is like 2 hours XD
but seriously when i took my car in for the 1000km inspection it took them 3 hours to do a hours worth of work (inspecting brake pads, see if the tires are holding air, the air filter is clean, nuts and blots are tighten, see if oil is at appropriate level) its a joke tbh I almost dont want to book my car in for its first actual oil change lol it'll take them 4 hours (small town no where to go) |

Also gotta add an hour for them to bring the keys back up to the desk after the car is done.

This is why they are called Stealerships.

I'd ask how much they want to change out the automatic trans fluid and consider doing that. I had mine done at 59,000 miles for about 280 bucks. They used a machine; your dealership probably use a machine too.
Had them do the rear diff fluid too; don't remember the price for that though. My gas mileage improved a bit. In retrospect, I should have done both earlier due to break in material possibly floating around. Definitely do it before the 60,000 mile mark so the power train is still under warranty if they mess up.

Here are some time estimates; I am being generous too. A good mechanic could probably do much faster.
Details: Perform tire rotation & inspection- 1/2 hour Replace air cleaner element - 10 minutes Inspect cooling system - 10 minutes Replace brake fluid / clutch fluid (MT model only) - 1 hour Inspect fuel lines and connections - 10 minutes Inspect V-belt - 5 minutes Inspect automatic transmission fluid - 10 minutes Replace engine oil and oil filter - 1/2 hour |

I speak dealer. Let me translate..
30,000 Mile or 30 Month Maintenance Details: Perform tire rotation & inspection - rotate tires Replace air cleaner element - Replace air filter Inspect cooling system - do nothing Replace brake fluid / clutch fluid (MT model only) - bleed brakes Inspect fuel lines and connections - do nothing Inspect V-belt - do nothing Inspect automatic transmission fluid - check fluid level Replace engine oil and oil filter - oil change. They want the car so they can throw it at a tech between real jobs. |

At my shop, Rotate is .5, air filter .3, brake fluid flush 1.0, oil change .5, so that's 2.3. We wouldn't charge for general look over type stuff.
Inspect cooling system- verify fluid level and check freeze protection (this is done for every customer as a courtesy at my place,) Inspect fuel lines- visual inspection of connections, particularly checking at fuel injectors for leaks. At 30K you probably wouldn't see this but also checking for cracks in hoses, and condition of gas cap seal(looking for cracks that could lead to evap codes). Inspect belt, check for cracks, use gauge to determine wear if appears worn but no cracks. Verify tension. Inspect trans fluid- verify level, smell it to check for burnt smell, check for leaks. Customers expect technicians to catch things before they become a problem, and it is their responsibility to do so. Customer doesn't have to approve anything they don't want to, but it needs to be looked at for general maintenance and safety needs. Edit: I looked up Mitchell book time for official 30K service book time and it lists 2.4 hours.

anything not bold is messy. it can be done yourself for those inclined, but i understand taking it somewhere. v-belt inspection is really easy, you just shine a light on it to look for cracks and odd wear patterns/ fraying. around my area, there's a free widget-tool to help check for this at every auto parts store near the registers. come to think of it, other than the tire rotation, all the inspection items could also be done for free at an auto parts store, as they want to sell you the parts if it's time to replace. i use the 2nd graph down to determine replacement schedules: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/maintenance-2014.html
