Default warranty on new cars

aight i got a question about warranty on new cars now if you buy a new car i got a toyota truck and pretty much everything that broke was kinda minor and they fixed it for free all except normal wear example brakes and such now im not saying im going to do it but will they know if you beat on a car and if you do or dont do you think they will cover it under warranty?

For warranty work the dealer does the work (usually at a discount rate) and he is compensated by the manufacturer.

I often think about that when I am installing a $2200 diesel injector pump on a H1 which requires more than $500 of labor and all of it is covered under warranty.

And to answer the original question, if you properly maintain your vehicle and operate it as recommended (for example if you had an accident the damage would not be covered by your warranty) it will cover whatever it is supposed to cover.
