There's always fine print to any warranty. The one via my dealership has the "service here" clause. You really have to decide how long you plan to keep the car and if you plan to trade-in there when considering whether or not to service there. Most times the ability for the dealer to transfer their lifetime warranty to the next owner is big in negotiating your trade in and with any car, their being able to quickly access service records. Getting an extra $1k for your trade will usually outweigh maintenance costs for 3 years imho, but I guess it depends what you want to do to the car.
My maintenance is some them, some personal, some specialty garages. I have aftermarket stuff. They've never given me an issue when I come in, but I'm sure if I were claiming on their BS warranty it'd be drama.
