An extended warranty is worth ONLY what the servicing dealer is worth. And after my last call to Hayes Chrysler in Gainesville - that "worth" would be nothin.

(Oddly enough, I will state that Hayes IS a good place to BUY a car...) I take my car to BuckHead Imports for any service that is very in-depth or specialized.
I go to a local shop, "Glovers Garage", for anything I cant do at home. One of the four car-nut brothers that owns the place has a wife with an SLK, (with 180,000+ miles on it) he is VERY familiar with the car.
