ASPs and ARPs are often used to provide in-warranty and post-warranty repair work, but not exclusively. Many in-warranty and post-warranty repairs are made by sub-contracted repair companies, including Independent repair providers, under contract to the OEM. As the original equipment manufacturer is paying for the services they can require various forms of training and supervision as a condition of their contract. These requirements do not extend to the equipment owner selecting their own repair services including do-it-yourself repair activities.
