The dealership isn't convenient for me, but I think I'll be trekking out there for service for the forseeable future. For one thing, they gave me a coupon book for the first several maintenance things, like the first oil change for $9.95, etc., so even if the dealer gets pricey down the road, right now it's actually not. They also seem to have a good grasp on hybrid maintenance, particularly, and put me on some kind of alert list, so I'm supposed to get reminders by mail to get the maintenance done. So far (one oil change) it's been fine.
