I let the dealer handle all repairs as when it comes time to part ways, "all maintenance preformed at dealership with receipts" goes much farther than "tinkered on it myself".
Closest dealer is 145 miles. That's 290 round trip. I'll be doing all the work myself. Not worried about resale value with dealer receipts for 2 reasons:
1. I don't plan to sell.
2. As long as you keep detailed logs of all work done, that's just as good as "dealer receipts" and will also save you a ton of money because everybody knows that dealers gouge you for every little maintenance issue!
