Yeah, of course it can be done cheaper if you DIY.
However, I presently live in an apt and the dealer is less than a mile away.
Also, I usually never have to wait more than 30 minutes.

There are horror storries about almost any dealer or repair shop and the work done is no better than the person performing it.
With this in mind I always check their work before starting my car and leaving the lot.
