There is no reason to go to the dealer for an oil change. Mobil 1 is Mobil 1 and a Porsche oil filter is a Porsche oil filter. Despite what Porsche wants you to believe, unicorn tears and pixie dust isn't required to maintain/repair a Porsche.
Of course, this assumes that Metric Motors knows what they're doing - but its hard a screw up something as simple an oil change. Check online reviews and talk to a few other local owners to see what their experience with Metric has been.
However, with that being said, I will suggest that building a relationship with a Porsche specific repair shop is a great investment for the future. If you can't work on your car yourself and need to rely on a shop to do all of the maintenance/repairs, you are very likely (like 100% probability) to need a much more major service or repair within the next year or two and then it would be great to know a shop that you can trust for more technical and/or expensive work. The place to start that relationship is with the simple stuff like an oil change (even if it costs a little more than the general repair shop). I'd call the local Porsche indie and ask if they have any "new customer specials" on oil changes. Most shops want to build a relationship with customers and are willing to discount an oil change in order to hope that you come back for the expensive stuff.
