Inspection

The 2019 Lexus ES I recently bought is showing that maintenance (inspection) is due and to contact dealer. The car has barely 7000 miles and still under warranty. The 2 dealers I contacted are asking over $350 for the "checkup". My question is: could a local mechanic who is well experienced with Lexus, BMW, and VW perform the inspection? If I did ask him to performs the inspection, would this void any Lexus warranty left on the vehicle?
TIA

And probably have the tires rotated. All done... About $100.00 with the oil change vs. $350.00 at the dealer...
