Any service items that only the dealer should perform?

So many threads on taking it to the dealer for 15k,30k or 60k service. Just wanted to know what items on these service points should be done by the dealer. I do all the fluid/brake inspections, change oil/filter, air & cabin filters. What are items would you "have" to have an Infiniti dealer perform (if any)??

A good tech who takes the time to do a full inspection can be worth the expense. Their experience with the specific model they're familiar with can often be the difference in spotting potential problems. But there's no way the average DIYer can do this.

One compromise would be to have a trained tech do the service and look over your car at the major inspections (30 or 60K) and do the rest yourself.

Counterpoint: BS. The "trained technician" will follow the free checklist just as easily as the paid checklist. Follow the tangible items in the service schedule, and skip everything that involves the tech staring lovingly at the underside of your car.
