Manufacturers should offer and be responsible for warranties - for used cars it’d probably be healthier if the certification was separate from the seller.
The point is, where are you going to get your warranty service without a dealer? They need to work this out first, whether with local shop agreements or whatever. I understand they should be responsible, but I don’t think buyers will want to drive their car back to the factory.

They already are. When the dealership does a warranty repair, the manufacturer covers the costs.

Oi.
Where does my insurance get a repair done?
That’s not a warranty repair, nor will the repairs be covered under manufacturer warranties (assuming you had coverage).
My point is dealers are redundant to the system.
My point is dealers are part of the system.
But the system would work fine without them.
It could. It wouldn’t today. Feel free to go back and read my first comment. Then leave me alone.
It absolutely would work today. There are certified mechanics that aren’t dealerships.
