I read what you said and I read how Carmine spun it (getting rich on dyson warranty repairs).  My guess IMHO is you must not be a shop owner but perhaps a hourly worker.  The reality of your $1000 in a month number is that of that about $600 to $650 of that is reimbursement for parts and shipping you paid in the front end.  That leaves $350 to $400 for a shop owner and you sound like a larger city location (Denver?).  Remember also if you are an employee your owner is paying your salary and other shop expenses for the period you are working on those machines out of that also.  Even at $400 a month which my experience would say is extremely high that would not be what most would consider "getting rich".  You can make a profit from doing warranty repairs but quite frankly the real money in warranty repairs is the consumer walking in your door that may have not otherwise.  Respect their product and treat them honestly and you could earn repeat business and referrals the real profit in warranty repairs.

Nice try Carmine I asked no hard pushy questions just used information that was happily already given.  As for the amount of Dyson work out of warranty right now it is miniscule and no honest shop is getting rich on those either.  You are the one in the habit of asking questions that must be answered for other to prove credibility,  was that 17 questions in one post you demanded of Bruce?  Lets go back to the fact though I did not push on questions they were statements made on themselves.

Rat,
  It does not take inside info to no that a very small portion of dyson's are out of there two year warranty it is a fact.  And yes I would stand by strongly that if you are being honest in handling dyson warranty work you simply are not getting rich.  I think only those not doing dyson warranty and trying to push another product by denigrating dyson are claiming that you can get rich from dyson warranty's.  As far as Dual he seems to feel he has the market cornered in his area I too feel my competitors closed mindeness on this new product line has allowed me a greater share of the business profit than I probably should have.  I am happy everyday that dyson has decided to strategically partner with hometown shops for service and offer margins although not great at least good enough to take some big box sales away however much of my competition are old dogs not willing to learn a new trick allowing me a bigger piece of the pie.  Everyone has different business models but I tend to think dual was speaking rhetorically when he said he was going to retire on $3000 worth of parts.  Take that literally if you choose, but my experience tells me that you and I both know those $3000 dollars of parts are not a guarantee of great wealth or a literal retirment plan.

No need to clarify.  I think all here were comfortable with defining "rich" and "rhetorically" on our own.  You don't need an Ivy league degree even us repair guys can figure that out on our own.

It is a shame as opposed to having a discussion or debate about the statements in my post that are specific to the machines and repairs you need constantly divert to rhetoric and insults.  I can take the insults as I am aware I am interupting your personal crusade but at least include some facts in the post as well.  I get you don't like the opinions I have or the facts I offer but which parts of my posts on dyson repairs and warranty to you disagree with?
