Import Auto Technicians over by Liberty Toyota near Academy and Vickers. Ask for Anthony - they know Audis and will give you better service and prices than Phil Long, IMHO.

Can't recommend Phil Long for out-of warranty work
Besides the very high prices, I've had numerous issues with them. In retrospect, some of them are kind of funny but did not seem like it at the time (they kept my A4 for 18 days once in order to fix the CD player... the final straw was a few years ago when I took my S4 in to get a window fixed and after keeping the car all day they did not fix the window but did find $3500 worth of other issues that needed fixed instead, which my independent dealer later confirmed were completely unnecessary...).
Even when I had an after-market warranty, I always felt that Phil Long was inventing broken stuff just to rape the warranty company. They 'found' torn CV boots and damaged control arms just about every single time I took the car in for something.
I work in downtown Springs so I take my car to Al De Mark, where the rates are about $30/hr cheaper than Phil Long, even though the guys are far more experienced and honest. They use Audi OEM parts unless I specify otherwise.
I have heard Concourse on the west side near Old Colorado City is good too -- that shop is usually full of vintage euro. Never been there though.
I know you're only looking for an oil change, but clearly I'm still fired up.

warranty and out of warranty
my 6 was under warranty at Phil *******...took good care of the car..even offered me a rental while it was service. took a few days to track down the blinking bulb. no problems A+
out of warrany my 2000 S4 was brought to Revolutions Tuning.
some stuff they did
replaced coilover - defective
tie rods...end links (front suspension stuff was really loose not sure exactly what was replaced)
my aftercoolant pump was leaking they replaced that and they found my injector o-rings were also leaking - replaced those.
