Proof is in the pudding. Personally, I've spent a fair bit of money at the dealership on simple things. Once I realized how much, I started to do more maintenance myself, so I can appreciate the choice of DIYing all the work. Plus, occasionally dealerships do a shoddy job or take shortcuts because of time and cost constraints - I've been a victim of this several times, and getting them to fix their mistakes is an inconvenience. If you keep everything in working order and your car drives like it's been well-maintained, then you shouldn't have a problem when you go to sell it.
