Strike has hit my dealership

[Dale's Jeep]

Well the big 3 strike has hit the dealership I use here in Michigan. 70 dollars for a air filter for a 20 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6L. WTF. I can see maybe 40.

Mopar has always been crazy expensive. I want to say I looked for my 3.0 and was 118 dollars or 108.

I can find cheaper online from 3rd party.

What was the price of the filter before the strike?

$69.10 is the regular full MSRP for that part. Likely just Mopar/OEM parts being more expensive from the dealer, and usually more expensive than aftermarket equivalents (not always).

The price of that part really hasn't changed at all in years..

Get out of here with your logic, reason and research. This is a hot take only zone sir.

At that price you might as well go aftermarket for a filter. I bought my K and N filter for my wrangler with the 3.6 for $60 off Amazon a while ago and it’s reusable if you clean it after a certain amount of miles

You mean "strike excuses have hit my dealership".

Under $25 plus shipping

EDIT: this is for the Wrangler filter and NOT the Grand Cherokee the OP mentioned. GC MOPAR filter is about $50 but less on Amazon.

Don't believe that part will fit his 2020 Grand Cherokee. Kinda the same reason I didn't hyperlink to a part that wouldn't fit our Wranglers, since people read 3.6L on a Wrangler forum and wouldn't assume the guy's talking about a different model entirely.

Great post, would read again.

Wish more people understood this and were ready for it when they go to the dealership for anything. Because that’s all it is - another dumb excuse for crazy dealership prices.

Stop buying that stuff at the dealer!

My bad, for some reason I had Wrangler in my head and NOT 3.6 Grand Cherokee. The 3.6 GC genuine Mopar filter looks to be $50 and change. BUT myself I see no reason to stay MOPAR for a filter. I would buy a reasonable non Mopar filter for that. MOPAR did not make it, it was made by someone else and marketed as Mopar.

strong chance it’s a wix filter. Possibly champion labs, aka Fram.
