I will add that part of the reason I take it in is because of the warranty - I bought an extended warranty and I like the Honda mechanics looking at it each year (I drive about 15K per year). They would be best suited to see things, and since I bought the warranty from the dealer, they seem more inclined to be helpful. It costs $35 to change the oil anyways, so I'm only out an extra $70 or so to do a 15/45/55 check, and out the big money every other year. I guess I don't trust other mechanics to work on my hybrid.
