Handing your car over to some jamoke who doesn't give a **** about it at the dealership, very likely, will.

Once, while panic braking, I saw the low oil light come on in their Camry and, sure enough, the dipstick was completely dry when I pulled it out.
Check your fluids if you're not changing them yourself. Super important.

I did actually run into this very issue with them the third time I took the car in. They didn't fill the oil correctly, I took it in the same day and they took care of it right away while apologizing to me about 20 times. I'm not going to lie, I stopped checking this after about the 5th time I had it serviced and haven't double checked them since. It's also my fault for not taking it in when I should have back in February. It's also my fault for not checking the oil levels when I hit the 73k mile mark.
