Default I'd use a dealer if they are reasonable and you don't have an indy shop to use...
Quick lube places can be trouble.

Default quick lube place rounded my oilpan drain plug twice... 2 diff places
apparently the plug is a little rarer than other cars... I don't know, but they paid for the plug both times, so it wasn't that bad... just stupidness with the mechs there.

Default Did that cause an Oil leak, because my car seems to only be leaking oil when I go over bumps and...

Default yeah, stripped, no harm to the car itself, just the nut that needed to be replaced...
small annoyance... I am sure this is not your problem. Dunno what would cause oil leak over bumps...
