I had an oil and filter change at the local VIP. When I got the bill the cost had almost tripled! The service manager told me the service dept is independently owned by someone else and all the signs will be changed. 5 gallons of oil is twice the price as the oil on the shelf. The oil filter was $4 more. They added an extra $12 for labor, $2 for oil disposal fee and $1.50 for shop supplies. What use to be a $30 project is now $80.
Beware on your next trip to VIP. I was not told about this until after the job was done.
