I am not sure where you live but in most of America you can get an ICE vehicle serviced in minutes. I always go through one of those express oil changes, usually they get me all setup 10 mins once I roll in, don’t even have to get out of the car.
Last time I went to one of those, they managed to overfill my oil by two full quarts and it was leaking oil while parked in my garage. I’m hesitant to go back. The auto shop I prefer, that has employees I trust, mostly does “real repairs” and is booked out months in advance. There are tire places around here that offer oil change services as well. They are typically booked out a week or so. I mostly change my own oil as a result and only have the shops do it when I have other work lined up as well.
I own a 2006 lx470, and a 2002 ls430. I own old cars. If I have a problem, and I want maximum convenience, I can drop the car off at the dealership pretty much whenever I want and they set me up with a nice loaner for the entire duration of the repair. I can do this whenever I want, without any scheduling headaches. But I have to pay the dealership premium for this experience.
If I want to be more cost effective, I call my local repair shop and they usually have me sorted within the week.
