I agree with that. I have done my own oil changes in between BMW's free ones for years. It always makes me nervous to let them do it. Like you say, the attention to detail just isn't going to be there when it's not theirs. I'm not too concerned with purposeful fraud, I'm more concerned with simple mistakes being made.
