I think every dealer offers some kind of marked-up, "recommended" service package that goes beyond what the owners manual will say you need to do. It's easy enough to go into any dealership (I've done this at both Toyota and Lexus dealers) and say, "I just want the basic oil and filter change." Very often the rest of the items on the "recommended" package are merely inspection items that they check off and don't do much else -- and in fact will be done anyways even if you just get the oil change. But yeah if you go to somewhere like Racers Line or Elite Performance, it will be cheaper, and/or you can get better oil and parts for your car at the same time.
