Time to learn. Buy a set of ramps, sockets, a drain pan, a filter, oil and a crush washer. Go find the DIY. It's a skill an enthusiast needs to have. It's like not being able to change a tire.

In high school one of those places punctured the oil filter by tightening it with pliers. I made it surprisingly far before I noticed the lake of oil underneath my car. A smarter kid would have made sure that tired old motor died from their mistake and had them spring for a new one.
