Manufacturers are under the gun to show that the maintenance is lower for their cars than the competition.  Oil changes on my car are recommended at 7,000 miles.  I don't know anyone that waits that long.


Some will recommend maintenance that is really not required.  I don't think that it is limited to dealerships.  Many independants are "parts changers".  They replace parts until they fix the problem.  This often is more expensive, more time consuming and a bigger inconvenience to the customer.
