Dealers are essentially paid the exact same amount of money for Warranty Work, as they're paid for Customer Paid repairs. Most every state has a "parity" law that requires Manufacturers to pay the same rate. Florida's is not exactly a parity law, but close enough (Chapter 320 Section 696 - 2011 Florida Statutes - The Florida Senate)

Manufacturer Paid Warranty work is huge revenue producer for Automobile dealers and their Franchise Agreement requires them to do it, for any owner of vehicles from the specific manufacturer.
