part costs for air/cabin filters seems about right but $75 to check/replace filters though standard is more than what I would pay for. They are charging you the book rate for that service but most places I've been to would have waived the labor for that if you do minor/major maintenance since it literally takes only minutes to do. Ripped off? No, they are charging std rate. Nickel and diming you? Yes, they are itemizing labor for each service.

Whenever I do maintenance at a shop (30k/60k/etc), I do the air filters myself since it's dead simple to do anyways.

it wasnt parts cost. they were another 28 and 26 dollars. The prices were labor.
