I didn't have my dealer do the others because they told me I had to to maintain my warranty, I just didn't know any better at the time. But on the very first service, I am convinced they did nothing more than change the fluids and charge me for an entire service.

If you are in doubt, call the motor company and ask them. I've had dealers tell me that anyone could do the service as long as it was documented along with the mileage and the warranty would still be valid. It's the manufacturer that gives and honors the warranty, not the dealer. So, get it from the horse's mouth so to speak.
