Ive always brought my vehicle back to the dealer for all maintenance since brand new. Just recently they had told me I needed to change my valve cover gasket on my vehicle and would cost a substantial amount of money. I was a bit puzzled because my car has extremely low kms on it. In doing so I brought it to another reputable local shop that specializes in European vehicles for a second opinion and they told me the contrary. I didn't need to replace that part yet because it was still in good shape. So just FYI, getting a second opinion on more substantial services might be a good idea just to get a better understanding.
