Why would the dealer be unhappy? The warranty pays HIM to do the work.


True, but usually at reduced rates. Not just cars, but any warranty work
for many appliances and machines is usually break even.


Really depends on where you are. In some states, there are laws that
warranty
work must be paid at the same rate as "over the counter" repairs. In any
event,
warantee work is a major revenue stream for car dealers even at reduced
rates.
It's not anywhere near "break even". I worked for a company that's
business was
almost exclusively warranty repairs for consumer electronics. They made
lots of
money.

I worked at a car dealership that could find at least $1,500 worth of
warranty work on the first checkup whether it was there or not.

Know whut uh mean, Vern?
