Something to check first: are you wearing or winding it enough? A power starved watch will run slow and even intermittently stop during the night if it doesn't have enough stored power. Try manually winding the watch each day for the next several days and measure its accuracy. If it is good, then that was all the problem was.
An automatic watch needs to be worn at least 12-14 normally active hours a day 7 days a week to stay at peak performance. A typical example of a power starved automatic is one worn just as a dress watch for work -- say for 9 hours 5 days a week -- that's not enough.
If you do have to send it in, yes use the dealer you trusted to buy the watch from. They should be able to take care of it at no cost to you.
