I'm not sure why some dealers try to take the stance they do, because unless manufacturer/dealer contracts have changed, the decisions are up to the manufacturer, as they are the entity paying for the warranty repair work. The only reason I could think that a dealer would want to try to pin the charges on the car owner is if the rate paid to the dealer for warranty repair by the manufacturer is lower than the rate a dealer charges a car owner for non-warranty work.

Any, congrats on the great news!

That's actually the way it is. At least it was when I was at a GM dealership a few years back. Let's say an alternator on a Silverado is 1.3 hours for customer paid work. Warranty will only pay .9 hours. Also, Nissan is going to GIVE the customer the parts, which means there's no way for the dealership to make a profit by marking them up. On an engine swap, I could see the dealer losing $1000 at least.
