$125... $95 for the oil change and $30 for the tire rotation.

With my classic 900, oil was cheap. It cost $1 a quart for Castrol GTX and 4 quarts were used. I used Saab or Mann filters then later AC Delco. I drove my classic 900 until about 7 years ago.
My 9-3 costs more to change the oil. 6 quarts of oil costs at least $46 including tax. The filter is more expensive or is it inflation (I bought so many filters for my 900 that I didn't have to buy them since the mid 1990's). I also change the oil plug gasket. I change the oil filter gaskets about every other time. That makes it close to $60. If I changed oil for a Saturday job, I would not think $35 for labor, disposal, and overhead is too much.
You might have gotten a tire rotation for less than $30 but that is not considered price gouging.
