When I was taking my new-to-me '94 100 S Avant from NH to SC,
and didn't have time to change the oil, I took it to the "best
oil change in town" as voted by some newspaper or magazine poll.
It was a Valvoline Instant Oil Change in Concord NH.

The process -- no appointment necessary, drive in over a pit,
technicians up at car level, monkey lad in pit below car.  You
have a choice of oils (regular, high-mileage?, and synth), they
checked fluids, they tried to upsell things (pvc valve, etc),
but they did show me the oil on the dipstick when they finished
(to prove they didn't forget to put in the oil). They also had
me run the engine for a minute, shut down, and checked the oil
again.

Not rocket science, but I felt confident in the oil change.
I've used them since then, too.
