When living in the Midwest and having over time found an honest and skilled mechanic, I would take my vehicles to him when they were out of warranty.
Now, I don't know any honest & skilled mechanics where I live and don't want to go through the trial and error to find one. Plus, my car is under total warranty for a long time. When it gets close to ending, I'll sell and get another under long dealer warranty. Maybe certified pre-owned.
My tires do need replacing sometime in the next month though. Out of my pocket, of course. Though the battery was replaced under warranty. That surprised me.
