The reason why its nice to have the dealer performing all the work, is that it gives both parties peace of mind. The customer is assured that the work is done, and that if in the future if problems arise that there would be no problems trying to prove issues for warranty to fix.
And yes the above does happen, I did the oil changes on a family vehicle that we bought brand new and getting them to honour the warranty was a hassle cause they didn't believe I had properly maintained the vehicle.
The dealer has peace of mind knowing that there isn't going to be botch jobs and stripped screws all over the place, and if there is they know they have no right to be pissed off because its their own fault.
Also bringing your car to the same dealer every time means that they get to know you, and they are more likely to help you, or work with you on problems. Stuff like loaner cars and such are invaluable.
So there is a very real reason to go to your dealer instead of mr. Lube.
