Personally, unless you need an alignment, I'd stay as far from the stealership as possible.
Perhaps is just bad luck, but strange, and often expensive things always happen to my vehicles shortly after visiting a shop. There's no dought that once they have your car as hostege the $ signs start flashing in their eyes. This is why dealerships often offer dirt cheap oil changes. "Oh, by the way sir, we noticed that XXXX also needs attention. We should do that now as well".

My dealer is a rare exception from the norm. They haven't found or recommended any services that I didn't need. So far I've only had my oil changed and had the tires rotated. I've got 64,000 miles on my car.
