I'm ok with using my local dealership for oil changes and scheduled maintenance, and I got a labor estimate from them last year, but for some reason an aftermarket install feels...different. Maybe it shouldn't?
AAM in Annapolis or P-Tuning in Manassas. I don't believe there is much in the Tysons Corners area. Going to have to make a drive for any decent work on your Z.

Now when it comes to oil changes at the dealer, be careful. I'd take it to an independent shop unless something serious comes up. Get some estimates and post em up and you'll probably get some feedback as to what is reasonable for a shop to install the cooler. Shouldn't take a shop any longer than 1 1/2 - 2 hours to complete the work. That should equate to about $200-240 including shop supplies/disposal fees/taxes. If they even approach $300, run away. There's plenty of people here, especially in your neck of the woods that have done that install and will gladly do it in their garage for far less. Hell, I'll do it. But I'm definitely not close.

Good luck!
