After seeing my parent's allante crankcase after they had theirs changed by someone else, I will NEVER let anyone change the oil on my cars unless im watching them do it. They had legit never changed it even though they said they did. My first car had to be gone within the first few times I drove it. Then had to buy my own. In which case I might as well do it myself. Takes legit 10 minutes to change oil and i get to sit in my own garage drinking a beer while it drains instead of a crappy chair in a mechanics office and dealing with ignorant people. Plus the advantage of being able to look around the front end promotes greater change of catching something.
At least for me in Northern Virginia, (I am lucky to have a nice garage), it saves me time, money, effort, and I dont have to deal with idiots and possibly them messing something up. You probably end up spending more time dropping/pickin up the car than it takes to change it on your own. But then again, the GSX, SC, and BMW are incredibly easy to change oil on.
