First, you don't "repair" broken displays: you just replace them.

Second, what do you consider "faulty"? If the color hues are slightly different, is that considered "faulty"?

I agree with you, but the process of replacing a display is called a repair, is it not? In my example of a car "repair", the repair consisted of replacing a part, and running some software to configure that part for that particular car.

I don't know how to answer to your question. You started this thread, and mentioned that you get a (high/unacceptable?) percentage of replacement displays that you characterized as "terrible".
Give us a clue about what "terrible" means? (not really a video quality description, is it? :D )

What makes you think that an independent repair shop can't repair your vehicle correctly?

You can get your vehicle repaired at an independent repair shop and still have warranty. (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act)

Never said it would not have warranty but would never trust an Independent shop to work on my LX. Most would not have the equipment to troubleshoot the problem. It is my choice not to go to an independent shop.

Bogus parts are knock-off or non-OEM parts used by many "Independent" shops. Another reason not to let them repair your phone or vehicle. For 48 months or 50k miles all repairs are free so . . . .
 
Interestingly enough, the whole screen replacement and warranty piece of it all seems to have had some recent developments: https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/24/third-party-iphone-screen-repairs-now-allowed/
Perfect timing. I commend Apple for their new policy.

And OP, I believe you are having crow for dinner. The article linked to shows that you are, as pointed out numerous times, wrong in your repair belief. It is good for you and others, that Apple has made a new display warranty policy.

So in other words, Apple tell its employees that they should comply with the law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act)?

Hurray!
