This is precisely the reason I change my own oil in both my cars.

1) I see the mobile one come from the bottle into my engine (premium dinosaurs in the case of the MB)

2) I know its done right, no loose (or not replaced at all) filters, drain plugs.

I dont care to wait 30 minutes for some greasy dude at a lube shop to drive my car around (mess inside the cabin), get oily handprints on the car and then charge me the same price as I pay to do it myself.
Yea, not to mention that some places try to get all the oil out by cranking the engine briefly before closing it all up.
