Wondering what your guys' opinions are? For example, I'm nearing 22,000 miles on my '19 SI and want to get my first alignment since owning it (bought at 13k miles). Was wondering if I should get it aligned at a Honda dealership or just go to a brick and mortar like Les Schwab or Sears and get it aligned there? Any long term value added between the two? I wonder about other maintenance tasks that most people can do at home as well. I'm already planning to do all the fluid maintenance myself i.e. oil change, coolant change, brake flush, transmission fluid change, but wonder if getting these done at the dealer adds any value to the car say 15/20 years down the line. I imagine a lot of the home mechanics are probably gonna say, just do everything yourself, but I just saw a post on reddit about a 1997 Integra GSR that has always been serviced at Acura and when you think of an actual 20 year old car now that's been serviced exclusively at the dealer, I feel it definitely adds good value to the car.
