So what happens if you don't have the dealer do Schedule A service?
Hard to believe that an oil change and air filter costs $179 with the coupon that I got in the mail. I assume that I can get the code reset at Autozone or an independant tech and I know that I can do my own oil change for a lot less.
Does not having the dealer do the scheduled stuff void any warranties or have some other major negative effect? The other stuff that's included in the Schedule A is stuff that I do almost on a monthly basis anyway. I mean really....check the tires and the break pads???
Give me a break.

- No, missing it does not void warranty
- Yes, you can easily do oil change yourelf, get an oil suction pump.
- You can reset the service notification yourself, do a search, its been posted several times

Be sure to save your receipt for the oil filter & oil, and note your mileage.
If you have a problem within the warranty period, the dealer may decline to cover it if you cannot prove that you performed the recommended maintenance on time.
VW had this policy, and would not cover damage due to sludge for turbos/engines under their 10yr/100kmile powertrain warranty - unless you could prove maintenance was performed according to the maintenance schedule.
