I too, take mine to a mechanic, a dealer, actually. $7-$15 each time, and I supply the filter and oil. Free car wash with either, takes a bit more time, but doesn't get me dirty.

I jack it up on the passenger side for quicker access to the plug after driving home because a warm engine lets oil flow out faster and more freely. I assume jacking it up on the driver's side is meant to accomplish the same thing?

Using the jack on the driver's side helps the oil to drain. The oil plug is on the passenger side of the resevoir.
