Oil Change in Tuscaloosa?

I'm through the break-in period on my new mini and i would like to get the oil changed, but i am not sure where to get this done in Tuscaloosa. Anyone have a suggestion for a local place to get it done? There is a BMW dealership here, but i am sure they will charge me a lot. Should I buy the oil and filter and take them to a mechanic? I haven't the tools nor the know-how to do the job myself.

Horatio, If there is and XPress Lube there in Tuscaloosa, they should have the filters to do it with. If this is your first oil change, you can now go with a really good Synthetic Oil such as Mobile One. I get my oil changed locally here in Sylacauga by Xpress Lube. It cost around $55 with the synthetic oil. I usually have it changed around every 7,500 miles.
