There is quantifying support for large deviations from the redshift distance relation - derived directly from standard candles.
It depends on what you mean by 'large'. If you are talking about a few percent when discussing the closest galaxies where cluster gravitation provides an important component of velocity, then OK. But if you mean large in relation to the cosmic expansion, you are either mistaken, or reading fiction.
