Warranty repairs are done at a lower hourly-labor rate and at discounted parts prices, AND at fewer hours charged than if the customer pays for the repair.

Ford allows a 40% mark-up on parts on warranty repairs.

The place I was at made sure that no customer-pay part was sold for anything less than double the cost, sometimes more than that if misc hardware ...
