Yes, in the "bad old days", I believe car makers would void your warranty if you had any repairs done outside the system during the warranty period. I think that's illegal everywhere now.
I was speaking only of (free) repairs done under warranty. That still requires having the work done at a dealer or a factory repair facility of some sort. This is pretty legitimate, really, because it insures that the work is performed by a factory-trained tech and that the parts used are OEM.
