Help guide me here.

My CompTIA A+ certification comes due next month and that got me thinking of other certifications I might want to look into later in life.
Are there any specific certifications that would allow me to work on stuff that has a warranty in a general sense, like one from Microsoft , or is it broken down by company? Like, Dell has their own certification to work on their warranties, and HP would have a different one?"
Thanks,

Well, no expert here, but it seems computer repair is going more like repairing TV's did when I was a kid. When I was young, if the TV broke, you called the repairman and he fixed it, under warranty or you paid him. Now, if it dies, people usually buy a new one, or it under warranty it goes back to the maker.

I would look into some networking certs. I don't see the internet going away anytime soon! CISCO has a pretty well known program.

Maybe find a large company in your area and talk to the head of their IT department and see what they are looking for.

Good luck!
