I paid about $268 (including tax) but my oil change was free. I also think on that bill, they charged me $5.99 for a new FOB battery. Considering most places charge about $60 for an oil change. I'd say $310 is probably close to the going rate for a dealer. I'd say it's over priced for what they do which is mainly inspections. They do take the calipers apart and grease the sliders/pins, etc. and spray some lube in door hinges, etc. Very expensive for maybe an hours worth of work. Any good mechanic should be able to do this, I wouldn't drive 1.5 hours unless you think there is something else specific to Mazda that should be looked at (in my case, I think they did a firmware update to my Tom Tom system at no charge) - Edit, they also replaced my engine air filter at this time.
