This is true when it comes to the manufactures warranty or an extended warranty that was purchased thru a third party or at the dealership. The problem is with the Dealerships "Incentive" warranty/guarantee, i.e. Engine for a lifetime, free oil changes, free car washes, manicures, etc. Those typically come with the stipulation that they get to do ALL scheduled/recommended maintenance, which of course you have to pay for at the dealers inflated prices. They can't give away all this stuff and not make up for it somewhere else. I just went thru this exact scenario with my wife's Honda and I won't be suckered again with Dealership gimmicks.
