If its under their stat warranty then by all means get it serviced there cause if anything goes wrong during the stat period then they wear the whole cost.
If its AWN or the like then you can get it serviced by any qualified mechanical workshop, use genuine parts will keep the powers that be happy.
As painful as it is having to get servicing every 6 months, when the driveshaft packed in they covered the full amount, They are happy for me to get brakes etc done elsewhere, just the actual servicing needs to be with them.
