After my lease on my Corolla was up, I just took out a bank loan from my current bank to help pay off the balance. It was quick and easy. You can shop around a little on that, too. Most banks like doing after-lease loans, and often will give pretty good interest rates.
I also let the local dealership handle the maintenance on my car, even though I own it all the way now. They do a fine job and seem to know the common issues with particular car models. Obviously, YMMV, but I've had a lot of good experiences with my local dealerships.
