Let's see. I went to change the oil in my wife's Kia Spectra (stop laughing). We had taken it to the dealership to get it done while it was under warranty, however it turned out they weren't using synthetic oil which is what the owner's manual stated it should use, then I noticed the drain plug was practically stripped. Needless to say, I was paranoid being under her car and it took me about 4 hours to get the damned drain plug off and I had to buy a new one. The upside is that I did a flush of the oil and replaced it with full synthetic again.
Dealerships are a hassle and I do pretty much all my own minor maintenance and take it to a mechanic only if I really need to.
