If there are going to be problems, who should I reach out to?

So aside from this forum, I just want to ask if it's nicer to have my car checked by the dealer if I already paid in full. Or is it nicer and cheaper to go to an authorized repair? I'm overthinking this because as I said it's my first brand new car. I want to take care of it well so I'm sorry if I'm already panicking.
 
Hey @banana in pajama, no need to panic. That’s totally normal for a first new car! Dealers usually handle warranty stuff best, but an authorized repair shop can be cheaper for routine maintenance once your coverage is sorted. What kind of work are you thinking about getting done first?
