I don't take my car in for non-warranty issues, but I'm not stupid enough to throw money away so when it is warranty I sure will.
And... I will say while YMMV it really hasn't been difficult for me to find good dealerships. Make good relationships, get recommendations... these things help you in all aspects of life! Even when I moved to AZ, my guys at BMW of Austin knew some guys at the BMW dealer here so they made some calls and introductions... relationships
