Sorry but that is so untrue lol Many are still under warranty so it doesn't make sense to do work yourself if it's free. I have never gotten any work done on my car at the dealer. Do all of the work myself. If it's something really big then I bring it to Helix in Philly. Many of the people who own minis mod them and do work theirselves.
