Yeah dealer plans are just scams, follow the book and keep records regardless where it gets done. Who knows what could be lost on someone else's computer system.
When I first got my previous car the dealer wanted to change out every fluid on the car at 15k according to "their plan" for $800 or so dollars. All the manufacture wanted was an oil change and to inspect things and check fluid levels.
