parts maybe ... but in the age of the internet, not really. i mean look at mazdamotorsports, with the parts diagram the parts guy has, you can find/buy and ship directly to yourself anything you want. there is no reason why this couldnt be expanded to cover all makes/models.
service, is even more of a racket than selling the cars is. if you are getting your car serviced at the dealer, you are getting ripped off harder than anyone else.
