concurring in part and dissenting in part:
I concur in part and respectfully dissent in part. Although my reasoning differs from the majority’s, I agree that the grant of summary judgment to the Home Defendants should be affirmed with respect to all of Homeowners’ breach-of-warranty claims. Also, but for different reasons, I concur in the majority’s affirmance of the grant of summary judgment to the Anchor Defendants with respect to Homeowners’ claim for breach of the implied warranty of workmanlike service. I dissent from the majority’s affirming the grant of summary judgment to the Anchor Defendants with respect to Homeowners’ claim for breach of the implied warranty of merchantability, and from its affirmance of the grant of summary judgment to both defendants on the fraudulent-concealment claim.
FACTS
The Home Defendants manufactured and sold the mobile homes at issue to retailers, which in turn sold them to Homeowners. In an effort to comply with regulations promulgated pursuant to the National Manufactured Housing Construction Safety Standard Act of 1974,4 the Home Defendants provided with each home a manual suggesting that the anchor system was a device suitable for stabilizing the home. See 24 C.F.R. § 3280.306(b) (2004). As required by the regulation, the manual included drawings and specifications of the anchor system, as well as installation instructions. The manual’s contents were certified as complying with HUD standards by *660a Design Approval Primary Inspection Agency (DAPIA), which is a “State agency or private organization that has been approved by the Secretary [of HUD] to evaluate and either approve or disapprove manufactured home designs and quality control procedures.” 42 U.S.C.A. 5402(18) (2003).
Homeowners’ claims against the Home Defendants relate to the information about the anchor system provided in the installation manual. Homeowners’ claims against the Anchor Defendants relate to the quality of the anchor system itself.5 Homeowners have presented evidence of studies, including studies conducted by HUD, indicating that the anchor system does not meet HUD standards and is inadequate under certain wind conditions. Homeowners concede that the anchor system has caused no damage to any person or property, but they argue that they are entitled to damages because they did not receive the benefit of their bargain.
ANALYSIS
I disagree with the majority that Homeowners must allege and prove physical injury to person or property in order to pursue their breach-of-warranty and fraudulent-concealment claims. This disagreement requires me to address issues not reached in the majority opinion.
I. Implied Warrant of Merchantability
I cannot concur in the majority opinion’s holding that without a claim of physical injury to person or property, a plaintiff may not successfully pursue a breach-of-warranty claim. While the term “products liability” generally brings to mind liability in tort — negligence and strict liability — the third theory of products liability, breach of warranty, is a contract theory. See James J. White, Reverberations from the Collision of Tort and Warranty, 53 S.C. L.Rev. 1067 (2002) (discussing the prevalent and unfortunate misunderstanding of the difference between tort and contract claims in the field of products liability). If the plaintiff asserts that the defendant is liable in tort for a defective product, then of course the *661plaintiff must prove physical injury to person or property. There is no doubt, however, that a plaintiff who asserts breach of warranty must prove only that his contractual expectations were not fulfilled. See S.C.Code Ann. § 86-2-714 (2003) (titled, “Buyer’s damages for breach in regard to accepted goods”); Gasque v. Eagle Mach. Co., 270 S.C. 499, 502-03, 243 S.E.2d 831, 831-32 (1978) (in a product-liability action involving a claim of breach of warranty under article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.), explaining that a buyer need prove only that the goods delivered by the seller were not as promised).
In the alternative, the majority opinion finds that even if contract law were applicable, Homeowners in fact received the benefit of their bargain because the anchor system was in fact merchantable. Yet, this finding of merchantability is based on the very fact that the anchor system has caused no physical injury. The majority opinion thereby derogates the principle that goods either conform to the contract upon delivery or they do not. Goods do not become non-conforming only upon causing injury.
In my opinion, it must be properly determined in the circuit court whether the anchor system sold by the Anchor Defendants was merchantable under South Carolina Code section 36-2-314.6 If it was not, then Homeowners are entitled to relief under section 36-2-714. I would reverse the grant of summary judgment to the Anchor Defendants on the merchantability claim.
Conversely, the grant of summary judgment to the Home Defendants on the merchantability claim should be affirmed, but not for the reasons cited by the circuit court. First, as stated above, I disagree that Homeowners must prove physical injury to pursue this claim. Second, I disagree with the circuit court that the Home Defendants cannot be liable for breach of warranty because they did not sell the anchor system.7 Homeowners’ claim against the Home Defendants is *662not that the anchor system was unmerchantable, but rather that the mobile homes sold by the Home Defendants8 were unmerchantable because of the allegedly flawed anchor system. Homeowners emphasize that under HUD regulation 3280.306(b), the Home Defendants could not sell their mobile homes without providing the installation manual discussed above. According to Homeowners, if the anchor system recommended in the manual failed to meet HUD standards, then the mobile home was unmerchantable.
In my opinion, Homeowners improperly focus on the manual’s recommendation of this particular stabilizing device. Regardless whether the anchor system fails to meet HUD regulations, is unmerchantable, or both, the important question is whether the mobile homes are fit for their ordinary purpose ... to serve as a dwelling. See S.C.Code Ann. § 36-2-314(2)(c). There is no evidence in the record, and Homeowners do not actually allege, that the mobile homes are unfit for that purpose.
The only reason that the mobile homes could be unmerchantable on account of the manual would be lack of HUD certification. A HUD approved manual is necessary for any mobile home to be “adequately ... labeled as the agreement may require.” S.C.Code Ann. § 36-2-314(2)(e) (another test for merchantability). As mentioned above, the Home Defendants’ manual was certified by a DAPIA on behalf of HUD.
For these reasons, I concur in the majority’s affirming the grant of summary judgment to the Home Defendants on the merchantability claim.
II. Express Warranty
I also concur in the majority’s affirming the grant of summary judgment on Homeowners’ express-warranty claim against the Home Defendants. Homeowners have failed to *663preserve their express-warranty claim against the Home Defendants for appellate review. The discussion of express warranty in the circuit court’s order pertains only to installation of the anchor system, which is not the subject of Homeowners’ claim. Homeowners’ claim is that in the installation manual the Home Defendants expressly warranted the compatibility of the mobile homes and the anchor system. Because the circuit court’s order does not address this issue, Homeowners needed to file a motion pursuant to Rule 59(e), SCRCP, asking the circuit court to rule on it. Homeowners failed to file such a motion; therefore, the express-warranty issue is not preserved for review. See United Student Aid Funds, Inc. v. S.C. Dep’t of Health and Envtl. Control, 356 S.C. 266, 273, 588 S.E.2d 599, 602 (2003) (applying the rule that “where a trial court does not explicitly rule on an argument raised and appellant makes no Rule 59 motion to obtain a ruling, the appellate court may not address the issue”) (from parenthetical to omitted citation).
III. Implied Warranty of Workmanlike Service
I also agree with the majority that the circuit court did not err in granting summary judgment to both defendants on Homeowners’ workmanlike-service claims. The implied warranty of workmanlike service is a service warranty created at common law. See Parkway Co. v. Woodruff, 901 S.W.2d 434, 438 (Tex.1995). Here, the asserted liability of both defendants relates to their being sellers of goods. Assuming that one or both defendants provided some service, it was incidental to the sale of goods. Any breach-of-warranty claim in this case therefore falls within the specific warranty provisions in article 2 of the U.C.C. See Plantation Shutter Co. v. Ezell, 328 S.C. 475, 478-80, 492 S.E.2d 404, 406-07 (Ct.App.1997) (discussing and applying the “predominant factor” test for determining whether the U.C.C. or the common law of contracts governs); see also Hitachi Elec. Devices (USA), Inc. v. Platinum Tech., Inc., 366 S.C. 163, 170, 621 S.E.2d 38, 41 (2005) (discussing and applying displacement of the common law when the U.C.C. “comprehensively addresses” a particular subject).
IV. Fraudulent Concealment
Unlike the majority, I would hold that the grant of summary judgment to both defendants on the fraudulent-concealment claim should be reversed.
*664On one hand, the majority holds that a plaintiff must prove physical injury to person or property in order to successfully pursue a fraudulent-concealment claim. It has long been the rule, however, that the “measure of general damages in [a fraudulent-concealment] case, according to the ‘benefit of the bargain’ rule, is the difference between the actual value of [the property] at the time of the sale and the value that it would have had if the concealed defect had not existed.” Lawson v. Citizens and S. Nat’l Bank of S.C., 255 S.C. 517, 521, 180 S.E.2d 206, 209 (1971); see also Starkey v. Bell, 281 S.C. 308, 313, 315 S.E.2d 153, 156 (Ct.App.1984) (explaining that South Carolina “follows the majority ‘benefit of the bargain’ rule” in “an action for fraud and deceit”).
On the other hand, the majority holds that “without an injury or a defect, there has been no diminution in value to support Homeowner’s [sic] fraudulent concealment claim.” In so holding, the majority suggests that a buyer receives the benefit of his bargain as long as the item purchased has not yet caused physical injury. This suggestion deviates from traditional analysis. As explained above, physical injury has nothing to do with whether a buyer has received the benefit of. his bargain. See Gasque, 270 S.C. at 503, 243 S.E.2d at 832.
Whether Homeowners can prove the elements of their-fraudulent-concealment claim has not been determined in the circuit court. The grant of summary judgment on this claim was based solely on the absence of asserted physical injury. The circuit court erred in this regard, and I would reverse the grant of summary judgment to both defendants on this claim.
CONCLUSION
I concur in the majority’s affirming the grant of summary judgment to the Home Defendants on the following claims: breach of the implied warranty of merchantability; breach of express warranty; and breach of the implied warranty of workmanlike service. I also concur in the majority’s affirming the grant of summary judgment to the Anchor Defendants on the claim for breach of the implied warranty of workmanlike service.
I disagree with the majority’s affirmance of the grant of summary judgment to both defendants on the fraudulent-*665concealment claim, and to the Anchor Defendants on the claim for breach of the implied warranty of merchantability. I would therefore reverse the grants of summary judgment on these claims.
