hear, hear!
i made this same decision more than 5 years ago.
as i was leaving a vw dealership after nearly strangling an ASE
certified mechanic who butchering a bearing housing, i was considering
backing into their plate glass window.
i decided that i had no business near a dealership service bay.
this summer i brought some press work to a vw/audi dealership and they
were incapable of attempting to perform the work.
i guess i was right...

ps - it takes me less time to do it right myself than to ride someone
else's butt until it gets done correctly.
