I don't see it that way. In my opinion, any experienced mechanic can do an oil change, a brake job, or other maintenance service on just about any vehicle.
Not sure what you really mean by "special", but we certainly found out while (many) mechanics can work on any make of auto, that's definitely not universal. We have always driven Volvo's and found it is a major mistake to not seek out a qualified Volvo mechanic. Didn't have to be a dealership, but from our experience I would suggest people do find a mechanic to specialized in various imports such as the ones you mentioned. Of course these days, it's difficult to determine which parts of which brands are made in which part of the world ! LOL !
