CAMPBELL, Justice,
concurring.
I agree with the result reached by the Court in this cause. However, the remedy created by the majority goes far beyond that which is required by the facts of this case and the arguments submitted by Barnes. I am not prepared to hold, under the guise of public policy, that all service providers will be strictly liable for breach of an implied warranty to render services in a good and workmanlike manner. Our holding should only extend to the manufacturer of a product who purports to remedy a defect that existed at the time the product was sold to the consumer.
Because I oppose the creation of an implied warranty applicable to all services, I am also necessarily opposed to the dicta in the Court’s opinion which purports to disallow parties to disclaim liability under such an all-encompassing implied warranty. This is not raised by point of error and is not in this case. I would not impair the rights of parties to contract.
My concurring opinion dated June 17, 1987 is withdrawn.
WALLACE, J., joins in this concurring opinion.
