Michael, an oil change is a great opportunity to begin learning to do your own maintenance for your car unless you have a compelling logistical situation that prevents your doing so.
These cars can thrive under the caring ministrations of their owner, but may suffer when placed into the hands of workers who are forced to pay more attention to their productivity as measured by their employers than they can to the wellbeing of an old and often unfamiliar design.
There's not much (perhaps changing a flat) that's less involved than an oil change.
In any case, if you venture into Alameda in your search for the right place for your car I cannot recommend Fred's on Buena Vista just right of Webster after you come out of the tube. They really gave my wife a ride while we were still dating.
