Not necessarily true....
Sometimes operational need dictates movement of an aircraft to a station other than a main mx base. At my airline, we have ferried aircraft out of the main base on many occasions.
If your mx squawk was on a napkin and they wanted you to fly the aircraft to LEX for the repair (carrying the part), I would say that's probably not a good idea.
