You should have a warranty on your brand new car, so i would go with the dealership. Usually when you let someone else work on your car other than the dealership when it's under warranty, you may lose the warranty.

Go to the dealer unless you are going to do it yourself or you have a mechanic you TRUST.
DO NOT GO TO JIFFY LUBE. They were busted on the news a bunch of times. They use the cheapest oil and parts available and half the time they don't even drain all your oil. They will look for any excuse to find something else they can "fix" on your car whether you need it or not and charge you more money. The quick lube places (most of them) are NOT to be trusted.
Pay the extra $10 and go to your Toyota dealer, whom you can trust and get a genuine Toyota oil filter and I suggest using full synthetic motor oil too for the best longevity out of your car.

Jiffy Lube might give you the same service Toyota will for a smaller price so it's really up to you.

Just save your receipts so that you won't void your warranty. But be on the look out for dealers that offer oil change specials because they'll probably be the same price as Jiffy Lube in that case.

Minor things like oil, save your money and go to Jiffy. Big deals like and other major service, try the dealer.

For most routine maintenance, why not do it yourself? If you don't know how, learn to do it. It's usually easier than you think and more satisfying. Hang onto your receipts for parts and supplies in case a warranty issue ever comes up.
If you decide to have someone else do it, PLEASE find someone other than Biffy Loob. Unless you really want to pay for a floormat alignment or to have the summer air taken out of your tires and have winter air put in. . . .

use the warranty, and have Toyota do it for free. In a few years then go outside to reputable chains like Autozone, they will cost less and be just as good

do the change yourself is possible. I was doing oil changes on my moms car when i was around 8 years old believe it or not. It saves money and its good experience.
