Looking for garage in Silver Spring for oil change

Hello folks,
I live in Washington DC at the MD border. I'm looking for a recommendation for a garage that would do oil filter/oil change for me. Lots of options in Silver Spring but I would love to go to a place that is Mini friendly. Any comments on what to expect to pay would be helpful.

Prior to my Mini, I owned an Acura RL with a computer in it that told me everything I needed to do and all the work was covered at the dealership (downtown Chevy Chase).

What is the consensus on frequency of oil change for the Mini?

You should still have at least 2 years of free maintenance on your MINI. If you you are not putting a lot of miles on it, talk to the dealer about low mileage service periods. They can sometimes do an oil change more frequently then the onboard computer tells you to.
