Quite the opposite here. The mechanic who works on my car is DeLorean 
certified, but he also does general auto repair. On all cars I've 
ever brought to him for whatever kind of work, he asks that you bring 
them in the morning of the work, and pick them up when complete. That 
and that all parts are ready to go. The garage is never empty, but he 
doesn't like cars to stay around. To be honest, 2 days for an oil 
change is beyond absurd. I've had a complete clutch & hydrolic system 
rebuild done on the D, along with suspension work on another car. And 
both of these were done within hours, NOT days! Don't be afraid to 
ask what the hold up is. It is your car, you're in control.

With all the discussion recently on the list here reguarding waste 
oil & other fluid disposal, perhaps you may want to do your own oil 
changes from now on. It's not that difficult, cetainly not that messy 
with the proper pan, and a great way to learn about your car. Oil 
changes are the gateway to DIY auto repair :)
