Go to credit union get the best rate you can and if you want to see if your dealer can beat it then go ahead. In my experience it's always always better to avoid the dealer.

To address this directly, unless this is a buy here pay here lot, which is a completely different animal, once the loan is funded, you're relationship is now strictly between you and the lender, the dealership is no longer involved.
On that loan, you have a contracted monthly payment. Anything you pay over and above that amount on any given payment goes directly towards principal.
