It also happens in other industries. Companies we were main dealers for mainly covered our labour costs or provided their own engineers, but our main supplier would not pay our labour chargers when we did warrantee work. The excuses were you absorb it from your retail margins.
All manufacturers pay for warranty repairs including labour. The labour would be at a reduced rate to retail but still chargeable as every job has a ‘standard time’ If you spent 6 hours rebuilding a gearbox and the standard time is 3.5 then that’s what you get. Manufacturers get quoted for not paying for diagnostic work but it’s a myth, Hyundai certainly do pay for time as well as parts. Regardless of where our car came from the warranty is network wide. I have my opinions why the non selling dealers won’t do warranty work but that’s just my opinion and may be incorrect.
