The oil they claim to use was Mopar Synthetic (?).
Same exact thing happened to me yesterday. I called up a few dealerships and was quoted a range of $100-$150. I drove 20 miles to the $100 dealership and had the work done. Afterwards, they hand me a bill for $130. NOPE. I explained that I was quoted $100. They apologized and charged me $100.
Their excuse was just like yours. The price of oil increased and they hadn't yet updated their computers yadda yadda yadda.
