I know what you guys are talking about, as I do all of my own maint. as well, however what you are paying for is not only the filter and service charges, but the experience to do the stuff right. The dealership is for people that have no idea how the car runs, just that it does and it gets them from point-a to point-b. Its the same thing where I work, when people bring their computer equipment in for service, or have me come to their office and wire the building for a network. Its because they have no idea how to do it themselves, and instead of learning and making mistakes, they would just rather have it done by someone who knows what they are doing.

Like how I charge 36 dollars to install a RAM stick in a computer, plus the cost of the RAM, they are paying for me to do what they do not feel comfortable doing, or do not have time, even though it is a 5 second install. And they love me for it, they trust that the job is going to get done, done right, and in a timely manner, even if it costs them almost double what they would have paid otherwise.
