What exactly do you mean by "much better"? I've always been under the impression that dealerships are more expensive b/c they are better trained. HOWEVER, after diagnosing the problems, they usually suggest the easier/simpler, BUT MORE EXPENSIVE solution and fix? OTOH, some dealerships push for unnecessary work b/c they may get bonuses from the manufacturer? Ditto for franchise repair shops? American franchised repair shops are synonomous and are well known for pushing unncessary work b/c they get bonuses for replacing X amounts of parts every month/period?
My personal experience with my dealer is that they are 80% good (they may tell you to squeeze a few more months of the brake for example) and 20% (bad)--they do sometimes go for the most expensive solution.
