Default Tampa area oil change

I drove down to FL mid-Jan to escape Chicago and I'm getting ready to drive to SoCal then back to Chi in the next few weeks. I'm in Tampa this week and I'm overdue for an oil change. Any recommendations for a quality shop? I already have the oil and filter. This may be trivial but Marc H does all my work so I've never had to even think about a low quality job.

Thanks in advance.

I know you are on the road, but get 1 of these, #7201, no need to get under car, will hold all oil, 8.8 liter capacity & Marc is the man, or stop in Scottsdale AZ for a oil change

I'm in the FL panhandle if you're taking I-10 westbound.

Thanks everyone. I went to a quick lube place in Tampa and made sure they used the right amount of oil. Years ago I had an issue with my '91 (RIP) where the oil change place put in only 6 qts so I was a bit paranoid.
