It's a pretty easy process with most cars. One thing to be aware of ahead of time is how you will handle disposal of the used oil. Most shops should allow you to bring your own by, but some may charge a fee. I had a container large enough to hold 2 changes from my car while remaining easily transportable, and took it down to the nearest Pep Boys when it was time to empty it.

The other thing to consider is how to elevate your vehicle enough to get access to change the oil. Ramps you can drive the front two wheels up on may be easier then a jack stand. My garage in Austin had a handy lip I could put the ramps against to ensure they stayed in place.
