First service: Which dealer? SC or Carlsen

I did an oil change myself at 1000miles, but would like to visit a dealer for the 3000 one. I'm in San Jose and really don't want to go at the San Jose dealership...

any recommendations would be appreciated. Heard good things about both SC and Carlsen.

thanks.

In my experience either would be fine especially for something trivial like 3k service. Go to which ever is closest (although I think SC is slightly cheaper for labor).

what's so special about changing the oil at 3k that you need to take to the dealership? since you already changed it at 1k, you don't have to change it at 3k.

you got a good point...might as well do it myself. but does it void the warranty if I do it myself?
