I'm not sure this relates to computers, but when I owned a stereo repair shop,
I made lots of money on warranty work.  Not as much per unit as walk-in work,
but the problems were usually much simpler.  (How many times did I get $7 from
Craig or Teac for replacing a fuse or cleaning a tape head?  I would have
charged a walk-in a minimum $9, but would have gone over the unit much better.)
Plus they often floor-planned (financed) a portion of the parts stock they
required I had on hand.  I would think an aggressive, business minded shop
would welcome warranty work!
