$75 is somewhat expensive for 3.5 quarts of bulk oil and a filter. I don't understand about the installation and shut down fees. Changing oil in a Prius is like changing oil in any other car. Even if they used the best quality oil, four quarts (since you can't buy half a quart) is only $35 and the Toyota filter is about $12.
Also make very sure they didn't fill the oil over the overfill line on the dipstick. Overfilling can cause problems with the emissions system later on.
I always bring 3.5 quarts of my own oil so that the correct amount and weight of oil is put in. The Prius takes 5W-30 oil. The best oils meet both ACEA A5/B5 and ILSAC GF4. Oils that meet these specs will say so on the label.
