The problem is that dealerships are trying to compensate for all the time spent on warranty work. Of course they have to charge those paying more - because they're only getting paid for 1/2 the work they do.
Both my SUV and my RV go to the same independent mechanic. He has a full shop to support, etc., but he's not putting half his time into warranty work. So, his rates are less than a dealership. His staff is seasoned and knowledgeable.

I do what I can with both on my own. I also have a boss who loves to work on stuff, so he has done a ton of work for me on the clipper at minimal cost to me (well, minimal dollar cost - I have to be nice to him and that costs a WHOLE lot! :) ).
