I would know, I run a one man shop.
For clients that in for a big service or a fair bit or work I'll usually do some little stuff free of labor charge depending on my relationship with them (i.e. install a hood emblem or a washer sprayer nozzle).
Just look around at all the nice brick and mortar and overhead at your dealer and understand why they would charge that. To be fair, it probably takes 10-15 min or so once the glove box is out to change the filter, but they probably only break down labor times to .5 of an hr, whereas I go down to the .10 of an hour.
