For a long time, I took my car to the dealer on the recommended schedule, because I got it nearly new and I wanted to keep it well-maintained. But then money got tight, plus I switched offices, so the dealer isn't nearly as close and convenient anymore.
So now if I need maintenance, I just take it to the independent (and well-reviewed online) garage near the house. They're really good about giving me a sensible answer when I ask "okay, what needs to be fixed now, and what can I put off until later?" so I think they're playing fair.
