I do all of my own maintenance (and upgrades) -- so far for maintenance it is just oil changes and tire replacement and alignment. For these activities, I keep all receipts and a detailed maintenance log.

I do, however, take my car to the dealer every 3,700 miles or so for a free multipoint inspection. It takes a whole 1/2 hour and I do it on the way to my office so it is no big deal.
