[Semi-long story] Went to the dealership I bought my car from for maintenance. - I'm here all worried.
Is this your first new car?

Yes, I believe you are being a bit paranoid.

I always take my cars back to the dealerships for the free service period.

Before I take my car in, I mark the tires (if they are going to be rotated), and I mark the oil filter. When the service is complete and before I drive it off, I check the tire marks, check the oil filter, check the oil level and take a peek underneath to check for any drips coming from the drain plug.

After the free service period is over, I take my cars up to the local automotive shop where I trust the technicians. No, I don't do those above mentioned checks at the automotive shop - I wait till I get home.

No, I don't change my own oil - why? - because I don't wanna no more. I did that for 50 plus years and it is no longer fun.
