Once in the rare times I didn't do it myself I had my oil changed by a highly rated place called "Golden Hands" which had a weekly radio show telling everyone how great they were. Several days later I noticed oil drips In my garage. I checked the drain plug and found it was only barely hand tightened and leaking oil. You can't trust anyone.
