Learn to do it yourself. $20 for the filter wrench, $20 for the filter, $50 for the oil. Its a very easy 30- 40 minute job. No way would I pay someone $200 plus to change my oil.
The dealer cost is "around" $200, they consider it a minor service. It cant be done much cheaper at independant shops or of course by yourself if you are so inclined.
Count yourselves lucky, here in the UK your looking at $700 (your monies) for a minor service (basically oil change) but just do it to get service stamp.

200-300 bucks
I grab a case of oil, drain pan and a beer.
My first two oil changes were done by the dealer at about $250. When I did the next one myself, I noticed that the turbo plugs were never taken out to drain the oil!!!!!!
