Cheers chaps. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of resell value. Would a dealer service history add anything significant to the value over a service history provided by a trusted (but not well known) independent garage?

I recently got an 11 plate civic type r. It's almost got a full service history from honda, except the last stamp was by a indy garage. It's now time for it's next service. Do I go for a Honda service or has the fuller dealer service history already been ruined? And is it even worth getting...
