I've had warranty work done on my older Geovids. It went pretty smooth.
I have had warranty work with leica twice. both times it was a reasonable experience. both times was about a 3 week turn around. they did want to make sure my warranty was in effect for my demo units and I did have to prove that. in summary don't count on them to go above the warranty for anything just know the warranty is what it is no more no less.
