I don't know what it's like where you come from, but here in AU, as long as it done by a certified mechanic and noted in your log book your warranty is solid.

When I get a new car I have it service by the local performance shop, basically running it in hard for 100km straight from the dealer and then get it on the dyno for a health check and then get a oil change, until it's time to modify, usually at about 1k km of driving it like I stole it, back on the dyno for a health check and all the oils changed, if the car is solid I modify.

From there I service it myself.

Even if I don't modify something or service it myself, the missus car for example, it goes nowhere near a stealership.
So so much that is just wrong here.
