If I have an invoice for shipping my car but the manager says that it is still just a quote and is subject to change, is this true?
I am trying to ship a car from one state to another. We signed a contract and got an invoice saying that the broker is to receive $200 for their services (which they have already) and that there is a sum of $325 to be paid to the driver. However, they sent another “final” invoice and increased the price due to the driver by $150. She (the manager) insists that the price on my invoice ($325 due to driver) is subject to change because it is still a quote.

You need to carefully read the initial documents (contract and invoice) presented and signed by you to determine if it states that it is a "quote" subject to change or not. If the initial documents that you received and signed say nothing about the figures upon them as being simply a quote then what you received was a firm offer that you accepted resulting in a binding contract.
I would write the manager for the shipping company a letter setting forth your position keeping a copy of the letter for future reference.
