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.

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.
