I think the real issue is probably not warranty so much as they want to make money on the parts as pert of their bidness model.

I've been happy with Suncoast (they are closest), Sunset, and Pelican. My servicing dealer in Cary, NC is reasonable, so I would not take parts to him. Even sells tries at Tire Rack prices without the shipping but with the sales tax.

I order parts I can self install leave the rest to the dealer. This month will be my first self oil change since off warranty, and I've always done oil changes myself after about 5k miles.

Not sure about other future maintenance, but buyers like me value the dealer stamps in the service book.
