I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you're a smoker. If that's the case, and you smoke around your computer, I can imagine what the inside of your computer looks like. I know, because I've seen it before. I've had computers in that are literally caked with tar on the inside. No computer repair company (and this includes the ones that are contracted by the warranty company) that I know of will work on a computer in that condition before it's been cleaned. There are certain minimum standards of health and safety regulations that they must meet, and that includes not exposing their employees to carcinogens. In that case, they're well within their right to refuse to service your computer until it's been cleaned.
Now, if you're not a smoker and this isn't the case, I apologize.
