My breakdown:

70% DIY
20% Local indy
10% Race prep (highly specialized indy)

I DIY for fun and enjoyment (its my zen zone) and so that I know that the job was done exactly how I wanted it done, not necessarily to save money (although that is a nice byproduct). So, if I am feeling lazy or am too busy, I'll send the car to the shop without hesitation (in fact, they often will send a flatbed to pick it up so I don't even have to drop off/pick up).

I never go to the dealer.
