Our last two LR’s bought new,didn’t go to the dealer for any services.All we’re done at a good Indie.
IMHO,there is no value at all of going to an LR dealer for services.
Numerous warranty issues were repaired by the local dealer,on the vehicles,with no issues,apart from the usual poor workmanship and numerous trips,etc.

At the least, I'll be using my indie for the intermediate 6 monthly services. We have a long-term servicing relationship and I trust them. If I choose the dealer to do the major servicing then at least I'll have a third party view of what needs to be done and that includes warranty items. There's more to a service than a "grease and oil change". I know that my indie will check stuff.
