Inflation is too bid....
I personally know of people who have horror stories at both (forget to put plug back on, antifreeze instead of oil, caught their engine on fire (seriously), etc).
Either take to a reputable shop or do yourself for the peice of mind.
Never had an oil change @ WM, looking it up apparently they do it for ~ $25, that's the "pit crew" version. The next step up is "standard oil" (makes you wonder what kind of oil "pit crew" is). Their synthetic change is $55, which would be the most comparable to this deal, if you also bought a filter. I don't know what brand filters WM uses (fram?).
It comes down to if you care what's put in your car. If you want the most basic, cheapest type of oil and filter - looks like WM will do it for $25. If you want synthetic, they'll do it for $55. If you want to know what's going in your car and can do it yourself, along with deals like this it will probably cost on the order of $25 for oil & filter, plus your time and sweat.
As others have said, oil is cheap, engines are not. I'd personally rather do it myself and know what I am using than use a quick lube shop, that's not even saving me anything except getting dirty.
Slightly better price in store on the two pack. $38.99 minus $8.00 instant rebate. Makes the equivalent amount $61.98.
The Purolator filter for my hondas (they take the same filter coincidentally) is PL14610 which is $9.01 on Amazon and is eligible for S&S @ $8.56. The OE filter? Honda lists 2 different ones but they are the same price - $9.36 (15400-PLM-A02 Fram and Mahle 15400-RTA-003). The Mahle filter through Amazon is $11.50.
Without getting into some huge discussion over which filter is better, general consensus is that Fram isn't the best, and we all know OE's aren't making their own filters (of course the above tells you they aren't, but this is common sense).
Buying the Purolator version on Amazon, that I'll get in 1 day, is $0.35 cheaper than having to go to the dealer, plus it's arguably a better filter. That's all anecdotal but I'd bet it's a pretty universal thing.
