I mentioned that I wouldn’t want to pay $15-30 to mail it, plus whatever the box is, and return shipping prepaid (which is what most warranties request).

why would you drive to a service center? you just mail it via their direct repair for free. you can't mail 100lb+ tools and things like lawn mowers.
