Maybe because if your friend fucks up your car you are SOL.
If the dealer fucks up your car, you get a new car.
AND - the dealer keeps records of the maintenance.
If you do oil changes yourself, and something goes very wrong later, they can question if you actually did the maintenance or not.
Some Toyota (Camry/Solara) owners were denied engine replacements after failure because Toyota claimed that the oil changes were done incorrectly.
The people who got 100% free engine replacements? - The ones who had their oil changes done at the dealer.
Look up Camry Engine sludge problem if you dont believe me.
