PCA I worked for in the '70's bought new Fords for the loan officers- Boss "bought local", and wanted to have the Ford dealer to do the service work as well. That lasted quick- Mine was the first that needed an oil change, and they replaced a headlight- 112 bucks! And this in 1977. Boss immediately told everybody that we're going back to the independent mechanic we had before, except for serious warranty work. The independent was a young guy just starting out, and I'm still using him 40 years later- a more honest guy there never was.
Also took an '87 Ford Aerostar in to a different Ford dealer for a cooling problem- they charged 1.5 hours labor for a thermostat and coolant flush. I griped, they said .5 to change the thermostat, 1 hour for the flush. They said "If you don't want the new thermostat, we'll take it out and put the old one back in." I said "just give me my old one, I'll change it myself"- I had my tool box with me. I changed it out in less than 5 minutes, took their new one back in, and said "there's your half hour labor- your watch must have stopped during my job". I did get a refund.

I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed.
