The last time I resorted to having someone else change the oil in my car, because I was in a place where I couldn't DIY and didn't have time to go to a relative's place to do so, I used an actual garage and not a quick-change place, thinking they'd do a better job, I provided the oil, and they managed to overfill it by more than a quart.
The people that take jobs like these are simply incompetent; if they were smart, they'd be doing other jobs.
