i don't know if this works at every one, but a few times i have taken the boxster up to the ford-adjacent QuickLane (owned by ford, but one of those "we do all cars / simple repairs / in-and-out" places) and used their lift. i did the work myself, but it was nice to not have to get on my back and/or spill oil everywhere. the manager is cool, as long as there isn't a line waiting. i pay them $10 or so for "bringing my own" and the shop guys just stand around watching.

The Boxster is the easiest and cleanest car to do an oil change on of any car I've ever owned. I would never pay someone to do it.

A Porsche dealer in our area has run $165 oil change specials on occasion, and I try to take advantage of those occasions. I believe they usually charge the $265 also. There's a indy shop here that charges slightly less than $165.
