Oil Change.

I know this is gonna sound stupid but i dont change my oil. Its not that i dont know how to but its more of a hassle with my schedule. Plus with thecost of an oil change being 20.00 and the cost of DIY is 18 it doesnt make sense. I used to take it to Honda becuase i knew a friend there that hooked me up but they have since changed the lifts they use. The ones they use now are the arm lifts that take it from the underbody of the kit. THis is great and all unless you got side skirts. So now i have a question where do you get your oil changed if you dont DIY. I was thinking about a place that has the places where the tech can go under the car and the car stays on the ground..
Thoughts?

Well you don't go up if you go to some place that has a pit. You more or less drive over a hole in the floor. There's no ramp or anything.

jiffy lube also has the pits where you basically just drive over a hole in the ground and they do it from there
