There was a post about extended warranties that I was reading prior to purchasing my warranty; someone mentioned a warranty company that started with an H that replaced their engine or something; I tried going to their website (he posted a link) but it wasn't there anymore. Anyway, as long as you keep your receipts and do the maintenace then I don't see much to worry about. Someone else on this board purchased the Pro-guard warranty (from Hal Moses), if I remember correctly but I don't know who it was. The extendedautowarrantycorp.com salesperson told me that I could do maintenace myself and to keep the receipts; the warranty states that "repairs may be done at any qualified facility" but I verified more than once that I could do stuff myself. Even if they try to turn me down the wording says "may" and not "must." Be sure to note the wording in the contract.
