Re: A story about a local car dealer. Your story may be different.
ZCAVEMAN WROTE--Fortunate I had paid for the warranty when I bought the car so they had to pay for the head gasket. Were they ****ed!! Haven't been back since.
The dealer shouldn't have been upset because you had a warranty. The dealer didn't pay to fix your car. The dealer gets paid for and makes a profit on 1.The parts that are used on your car. 2. The labor to fix the car. 3. The selling dealer made a profit on the warranty that you purchased. And you came out ahead because you purchased the warranty. Seems to me that it was a win win for both.
When you purchase a warranty you are buying an insurance policy against future repairs. The warranty is not from the dealer it is either from a private insurance company or in many cases from the manufacturer. For the dealer they win when you buy the warranty and they win when you use the warranty. If you don't use the warranty the dealer can't make a profit on the work.
