Service A done in 30 minutes and charge $200

My car (basic GLC300) is one year old so went to my first service. They completed "Server A" within just 30 minutes, and that including the time to wash the car.
I am surprised that 30 minutes for $200 charge.

Do the service time and corresponding charge sound normal ?

from what i've read sounds like $200 is on the low end of the price scale

$200 for service A is not that much if you take into account that even Valvoline charges $100 for a synthetic oil quickie (no filter included!) for my old Acura!!
