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.
The Cart dealer that you did not name had to go this route so they could take good care of "THEIR" buyers/customers. This unnamed Villages cart dealer sells 400 plus carts per month and services over 150 a day in their locations here in TV. Nothing to be upset about that they are doing the right thing.
