All that work actualy adds up and gets expensive but can alsobe done for less or DIY.
Never done my cabin air filter but its easy to do.
Air filter is peace of cake, 10 minutes.
I flush my brake fluid every time I change my brakes for a track day, super easy.
Radiator drain and refill including the block takes an hour, if they use a flush machine its easy to do $100 at most shops.
I replaced my plugs and changed the engine/dif/trans oil on saturday in 2 hours, that included messing around with a bad gear oil pump and making sure I got all possible oil out of the engine.
I wouldnt replace the stock coils unless they are bad, you are going on a long trip or you are upgrading to the BHR kit (which I recommend $560 with oem plugs). And why are they not recommending the wires? Coils and wires take maybe 30-45 minutes.
If someone was local to me, I could buy all the parts and do all the work with BHR coils/wires redline gear oil for $800-$850 maybe less.
See procharger build Mods: Turbo XS rfl exhaust, BHR coils, Flywheel, Radiator & Fuel pump, Exedy mazdaspeed clutch. AF shifter. KW Var 3 Coilovers 1" drop & corner balanced. Prog Tech Sway bars. Racing brake 2-piece F/R rotors. SS Brakelines. MS Front/rear Strut Bar, TC Sportline undercar brace kit. RPM2 Powder coated Wheels 18X8 +40. Black RPF1 18X9.5 +45 Wheels w/275/35/18 hoosiers (track only)

Ya if you dont know what to do it may take you a while but if you have ever spent anytime under the hood you can get it done cheaper and faster cabin filter will be only issue and not really a neccesity
