Oh yes there are a HUGE number of horror stories about Dell depot service. Actually the last I heard before I left Dell was that they were trying to get away from their current depot contract because the quality of the service was so terrible. If you ever have on-site service never let the lazy on-site tech try to send your computer to depot. And if you have depot service I'd say just tell them to send you whatever parts need replacing and do it yourself. Servicing the machine isn't hard, it just takes a lot of screws.
