I also think dealers overcharge. But certain things I'm willing to pay for if they're done right - I don't trust Jiffy Lube for my oil changes just yet. So I'll have routine maintenance done at the dealer. Anything that deals with my tires I'll have done at Discount Tire or the Max. Any more aftermarket work, it'll be done at the Max.
I have the capability (physical and intellectual) to do the majority of maintenance myself, but I just don't have the time or tools.
