In general I've handled all the oil changes for my car since I got my first car in high school, but if I had a coupon for a free oil change, or something really cheap, like $9, I'd use that. I like the idea of putting what I want in the car, instead of using whatever oil they have, and whatever cheap filters they supply.
Then two years ago I got a new car, and since it's synthetic, I've only had to change it twice (coming up on a third), so it's much less of a hassle.
I've had to rely on the screwdriver trick a few times myself. I learned about it on Google a long time ago.
