Once warranty is over, there is no reason to go to a dealer, unless you have some rare amazing dealers.
A MAJORITY (Since there are some good ones, and there are some good dealer mechanics who post on here) of dealers a) gouge you and b) don't even know the cars that well.
People on here have said dealers have charged them $600+ for a DI cassette, including "labor" hahaha. I got a new DI for $275, and popped it in in 3 minutes.
My independent SAAB expert is about 1/2 the price of the dealer up the road.....and maybe 10 times as knowlegeable.
A lot of that stuff you'd be noticing a problem if it needs to be replaced....
