I do everything myself these days, up to a point anyway. It's much more rewarding, kind of a hobby, means I don't have to arse about trying to get to garages in the week whilst working, and of course it's much cheaper. Having said that, I've just rebuilt my front calipers having had the same sort of issues OwlHoot was saying and screwed up bleeding the system so now it's full of air and I have no brakes.
Dealers are only worth it if you're obsessed with keeping the service history, and once a car gets to a certain age and mileage there's little point. Even on a new car you have to question whether the cost of the dealer service outweighs the amount you'd lose on resale through not having a service history.
