I do not trust the quick lube places and I'm picky with my oil changes. Can anybody recommend a good shop in Pullman or Moscow to get an oil change done? Bonus points if they let me provide my own oil and filter. Extra bonus points if it's a location where I can just do it myself.
I don't think Cougar Ridge would appreciate me changing my oil in their parking lot.

Bruneel Point S in Moscow. For oil changes, they are the best. Cheaper than doing it yourself if you value your time. Completely honorable. Been going for years. $34 for standard change. $70 for synthetic. They often have a $10 coupon online or in the student survival guide and app. They’ll often recommend additional service needs on your vehicle after, but not always. Only when I legit needed it.
Stay the fuck away from Jerry’s in Pullman at all costs. Do not go there. Ever. This isn’t a one time bad experience. Learned this over several times and from multiple friends.
Don’t bring your own oil.
I'd just do it in the parking lot tbh. No one will really care. I'm sure all the shops use cheap synthetic anyways.
What vehicle do you have? Anything you can crawl under with an easy to get to oil filter? Won't take but a few minutes.
Admittedly, I've done mine at Oreilly's. Pull up on the curb to get some ground clearance, lay down a trash bag to catch any splashes, and get 'er done. If I mess anything up, well, I'm at the auto parts store. P.S. they have loaner tools
It's a Subaru Impreza. Not very high off the ground, but I have done it without lifting the car before. It's just a PITA. I'm just not too fond of the idea of crawling around on the dirty wet parking lot in lovely Pullman winter weather.
I actually do have a set of jack stands in my apartment though, for some reason.
You might also try paying for an hour at the library parking garage. Under cover and, cleaner, at least
Honestly CR probably won't care all that much. Just don't bug your neighbors (be tidy, don't take up a huge amount of room). I worked on my own car at my apartments despite them having a policy stating you couldn't.
