Warranty Repairs Costly to Dealers
Washington AP reports auto dealers complain they are inadequately compensated by big car makers for warranty repairs since 1962 extended warranty. Warren J. McEleney, speaking for the National Automobile Association, testifies before a Senate antitrust subcommittee that manufacturers underpay warranty work, forcing dealers to cover losses with profits from other sales and services. He notes dealers may raise prices or push revenue from other sources to offset guarantees. William W. Winpisinger of the IAM acknowledges harm to mechanics and argues flat rate manuals depress wages and chill troubleshooting, hurting customers and violating labor and antitrust norms.
