Cannot repair disk

I tried repairing my disk, and it said repaird but it wasn't. So I then verified it, and it said I needed to boot into reovery and repair, which I did (verified and repaired). Then I booted back into my normal system and tried partitioning (which was the original goal), and it couldn't. So I tried verifying and it said I need to repair again in recovery, leading me to believe it didn't repair the first time.

How can I get it to repair properly?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

You're listing OS 10.9. This is not the place for problems with that. Go to the Developer's forum or AppleSeed, depending on where you got the beta OS from.

That's just cause I didn't change it.

I'm having issues with this on my desktop that runs 10.8.

Sounds like a failing HDD.

You should also remove 10.9 from your specs, as even that is a violation of NDA.

Removed it.

Also I don't have Applecare or anything. But will Apple replace it if I bring it into them? I got it in February, and I can't just replace the HDD cause it's sodered to the motherboard.

You have a 1 year warranty. But you should really consider extending it with AppleCare.

If the computer is started up from the Mac OS X hard disk (or disk partition) and Disk Utility finds errors on it, there is not necessarily anything wrong. Only when started up from the CD should Disk Utility reports of errors on the Mac OS X hard disk (or disk partition) be considered accurate.

Disk Utility incorrectly reports disk errors on startup volume
