Ask the people you work with; they've identified some reliable places by now. Depending on how new the car is, the dealer might be a good buy, too. My Toyota dealer is always sending out coupons that make the cost of an oil change there the same as the quickie places, and they'll do it in less than 30 minutes. I also located a good little independent place that I use sometimes, and I'm sure there are plenty of those around; you just have to ask around and see where to look.
Unless you just want to develop a new skill set, changing the oil in a car isn't one of the best ways to economize, because you're also going to have the hassle of doing something "approved" with that old oil you drain out. Gone are the days when you could dump it in the alley to keep the weeds down, like my dad always did.
