That is actually a violation of the warranty process and can likely lead to issues if you have to replace the frame or deal with warranty stuff down the line unless your shop decides to lie for you. The collars and their replacement was to be done at a dealer there are no other options. I have never heard of any sort of warranty stuff that a company has cleared someone to do on their own unless it is some disreputable company but even they probably wouldn't want to get sued.
