Noise Level at Quick Lube Oil Change Garages?

[kingsfan]

My car needs an oil change. I've been taking it to a local mechanic I trust, but I have to walk through the garage to reach the office and pay when I pick up my car. I've already had too many exposures there to loud tools.

I was thinking about going to the dealership instead, since they tend to be the most ear-friendly. You just valet the car, wait in a quiet lounge, and then they bring it back to you. The downside is that they don't have any appointments until next month.

Now I'm considering one of those quick lube shops where you pull in and stay inside your car. Has anyone tried these? How loud is it inside the car? I'm a little nervous about whether they might be doing a tire rotation nearby, especially if I have to roll down my window to talk to the mechanic and risk exposure to another impact wrench.
