The dealership is a business and the dealerships are there to make as much profit as possible.

I can tell you (after working in dealerships for quite a while) that it is, in fact, the manufacturer paying for warranty work. The dealership may have to wait until the end of the month for the payment, but there is no such thing as a dealership paying for warranty work. That would be a conflict of interests. I can personally tell you that dealerships LOVE warranty work- it's guaranteed money. So, why would a "trick artist highwayman" at a dealership want to screw you out of warranty work, and therefore money out of his own pocket? Being as respectful as possible, it sounds like you walked into a dealership with an unrealistic expectation, didn't get it, and now there's no way it could be your own fault.

I understand you are angry for not getting what you wanted, but please don't spread misinformation. It is statements like the above that lead to mistrust of dealerships that is, often, unwarranted.
