One reason I change my own oil is because it's easy and I'm cheap. The second and just as important reason is garages overfilling/underfilling/etc. as you said.

And it's even easier if you remove the oil pan drain plug and put in a Fumoto oil drain valve (for about $20). Then, when you change oil, all you have to do to drain is to open the valve.
