For the DIY maintenance guys, how do you keep a record of the maintenance you've done in case a warranty issue pops up? I enjoy doing maintenance on my cars myself, but I keep hearing stories about dealers always trying to weasel their way out of repair work covered under warranty. Obviously I keep all my receipts, but will I have to resort to filming myself putting in the oil in my car to satisfy the proof of maintenance being done?
As to why I don't just let the dealer service it, I'm pretty old school and know that when I perform maintenance, I'm not rushing to get the bay free for the next car. I take my time and pay attention to all the little details. Plus less chance of stupid mistakes like leaving the drain plug loose or putting in the wrong oil.
