Who still uses main dealers to service and maintain their little pride and joy??

Never used a main dealer. Find a local garage  that specialises in ypur make of car and read its reviews and if all good use that one. Will save you buckets of cash.

Yeah but price up an indie that uses GENUINE parts (not GSF/Eurocarparts pattern crap), and offers the same 2 year parts warranty, vs dealer.....and indie stamps have nowhere the near the same weight as a dealer stamp when it comes to resale.

It comes down to how much your time is worth.  I can do what garages do myself easily, and to a better standard, but can I be arsed? Not always.  I'd rather pay a dealer 50 quid to flush my brake fluid through.  I hate brakes and can't be fagged with that sh1t.  Good value to me.

I've got a brake bleeder kit that cost £60. I've used that on my daily, my Mum's Ka and partner's Yaris. If i didn't have these other cars to use it on and access to a ramp I wouldn't have bothered buying it and would have just taken it to my mate who own's a garage. I like knowing the work has been done to a good standard so I prefer to do it myself or take it where I stand next to the ramp and watch my mate do the work. I've have some terrible experiences with main dealers from different brands and I don't care about a dealer stamp/receipt, i care that the work has been carried out properly.
