Not making money on warranty is laughable. Even if you just cover the labor rate of the shop at say 80 bucks an hour while paying the tech 20 an hour your shop still takes in the rate. If they short you on the job, takes 8 hours but pays 4 I can see that, but overall a good dealership will have a solid income on parts and service.
My understanding is Warranty work generally doesn't pay the going hourly rate nor do they pay the full time allotted to the job. They also do not pay diagnostic time if required.
THere is also lots of forms and approvals associated with warranty work. Did I mention there are often 30/60 day pay cycles.
DEAlers are will to put up with the system for units they sold. But for units they did not sell, some deny warranty service altogether.
