Some dealers offer 3 day or 150 mile return or exchange policies no-questions-asked. That way you're not screwed if you found out the vehicle wasn't for you after more than a simple 20 minute test drive.

I'll take the car I buy into the dealer who has the best shop, or my mechanic.

Dealers wouldn't have shops if they didn't profitably sell cars. You'd take your new car to your independent mechanic for what might be free warranty work on your new car?

And, in CA at least, dealers have to ensure by law that brakes, tires, etc,, meet certain safety standards, so if I'm buying used I'll see if a dealer has what I want rather than go for a private sale.

Sounds like a value add. You paid extra (I assume) and you were happy about it.
It's that way in many states, including here. Dealers must inspect the cars and disclose their findings using a checklist displayed on the window of each car.
Here's the comprehensive checklist, that is signed by both dealer and customer:
