I normally do my own oil changes in my garage - not hard to do if you have the proper equipment.
On rare occasions, I have taken the car to my preferred dealer and had them do the change. Never had a problem.

I enjoy changing my own oil and filter 
......it is a pretty simple procedure....i have been doing it for decades on all of my cars.....i have saved enough money over the years to buy a few cars and i don't have to waste my time waiting to have it done....one day i may not be able to do it but until then i will continue to do it...

I take mine to the local oil change shop. But I stand there and monitor all of the work being done. I caught one dude dipping his finger in some other cars dirty "bad" oil in a different shop (before even removing the plug from mine) and tried to convince me I had issues that needed repairs. Called him out on it and never went back. So just gotta keep an eye on them.
