It really depends on the dealership. Some dealerships don't place priority on it's service department and sometimes the attitude of the people working there aren't as enthusiastic about performing a really really close inspection and just look at the general stuff, oil levels coolant levels tire pressure and if your lucky a compression test.
I'd say take it to someone who you trust and has access to a lift so you know what's going on under the car. You don't want to end up with one of these:
