This is exactly why I've done 100% of my own maintenance from the day I got the car with 39k on the odometer; I don't trust dealerships to treat my car like I'd treat my car. So far I've done oil/filter changes, a new set of spark plugs, cabin filter ('09 didn't come with one), new battery, transmission fluid, differential fluid, and mounted/balanced a new set of 285/35/19 Potenza Pole Positions for the rear (a buddy has the equipment). I'll replace brake pads and fluid once I decide what I want... I've got about 58k on it now, 2 years this January.

The only thing I didn't do myself was the alignment (rears were at -2.2 camber for some reason).
