I don't have the space/tools in my current living situation to much of my own maintenance, but I'm wondering what your experiences have been if you've tried buying regular maintenance things like oil, brake pads, filters, etc. yourself and bringing them to a shop to do the labor. Do many refuse to use stuff you bought yourself (even if it's high-quality, brand-name items)? If they are willing, do they still charge you an arm-and-a-leg, negating any savings you may have hoped for by buying the parts/fluids yourself? I anticipate independent shops may be more receptive to this than dealers.
