What are they made of gold? Check online you can buy steel braided hoses for significantly less! Otherwise drive up to Eugene and I'll do it for $1500.00 :-) LOL

Something isn't right with this. I would definitly dig into why all this needs to be done and possibly find another rotary mechanic to review. The warranty company should allow you to go to any number of certified mechanics.

buy the lines for the oil cooler from the deal, and install it yourself... Tell the warranty company that they included the install labor with the other labor charges

You may be right about the price from the dealer.. They are so damn expensive.. Maybe try Malloy? I don't have the number off hand..

When you call the warranty company, please ask them if you are able to bring to car elsewhere that is certified. I think I used to see that they require you (customers) to get the car fixed at certified shops, but why only dealers?????????

Maybe, you can read your contract agreement.

Call Ray @ Malloy Mazda (his # can be found on the forum) and ask him what is the retail for those hoses and also ask him what Mazda charges for labor on that job. All Mazda dealers should be going by the SAE book on how many hours they are supposed to charge for a particular job.

Sounds to me like the dealer is trying to take advantage of you but I'm sure Ray will what its worth.
