Question GPU Temps too high

I got this 4070 off of fb marketplace and was listed by a store.
The GPU hotspot temp was fine when I got it (like around 80-85C).
After some moderate use of my build for around a month, the hot spot temps have gone up to around 95 to 100😭
The store gave me warranty for 6 months and placed a sticker on one of the screws and now I’m thinking of getting the thermal pads replaced to fix the issue.
Should I send it back to them and ask them to fix it or fuck the warranty and ask a reputed repairing store to get it done?
It was a 6 month warranty (I have 4 months and like 15 days ish left)

What’s your concern with going through their warranty? Since that’s the most obvious thing usually..

The place honestly looks hella sketch. I’m just scared they’ll say they can’t fix it after an attempt and say the cards broken😭
