Let me tell you a story.
My local specialist changed oil for me for $120 and I went on the track few weeks after, after a few laps smoke started to come out from the exhaust and I thought I blew my motor.
I had the car towed back to the pit and lucky there was a Porsche mechanic on the spot, after checking the dip stick he claimed whoever did my oil change over-filled it and it spilled over causing huge amount of smoke.
Truth is most shops just get some new kid to do easy stuff like oil change, they use the knowledgeable mechanics for bigger jobs. I never took my Porsche to a shop to get an oil change since.
