That would be me. It's not because I can't afford the extra few bucks, but it's all about knowing it's done right and getting familiar with your vehicle. Lubing it yourself also allows you to look underneath and check for wear and tear. You'd be surprised if you ask around how many people have had stripped threads on the drain bolt or filters put on too loose or too tight. I stopped once to check on a college girl pulled over on the side of the road because her engine light had come on. I looked underneath her car and noticed the oil pan bolt was missing. She had just left Jiffy Lube 1/2 hour before.

To each his own.
