No such thing as a free lunch, a trip to the dealership is time and gas money out of your pocket.
I paid $120 out of pocket to replace a coil pack, a free replacement from the dealership would have required two trips requiring an estimated ~80 miles of driving and 6 hours of my time minimum. If I value my time at $20/hour that's already a wash, given that we're talking about cars that run >$25k I'm sure I'm not the only one around here who takes home more than that from a daytime job which I'd have to take time off in order to get the service done expediently.
