Abysmal service centers in my country! What to do?

I have a predator g3-572 which has been overheating for the past few months and has been causing performance issues in games. The CPU would just not run at its max speed and when it tried to, it would get immediately throttled as the core temperatures jumped straight from about 80 to above 95 degrees! It used to run perfectly cool before that period, but somehow suddenly, something went wrong with it. Since then, I have contacted Acer twice (on separate occasions) and they've directed me to two service centers. The first one just said that there was dust lodged in my fans, which he cleaned and assured me that it now worked fine. He was terribly wrong - the laptop didn't run cooler at all. After searching online for a while, I found out that my CPU's thermal paste might have been damaged so the next service center I gave my laptop to, I told them the same. They returned the laptop to me saying they had replaced the thermal paste, but surprise - nothing changed at all! I have been struggling to do any gaming on this laptop and that's exactly what I bought it for.

Needless to say, I have been extremely disappointed by the incompetent people at service centers that Acer has in my country (India). Will Acer really help me get it repaired/replaced or do they like to just lose customers on a regular basis for such small issues?
