Dennis's service is second to none. I'm going to be a repeat customer next month.

Uh, I would think that you would hope NOT to have to use it. If you use it, doesn't that mean you'd be having problems?

Yeah, but I'd like to get my money's worth. Maybe I'll have to fix a seat or a window or something non mechanical.

I had and extended warranty on my Apple computer and in the last week of the warranty my screen went out, they replaced it. Would've cost me $500 at least..

Did mine with Dennis just before Christmas. Awesome to deal with. My 2002 has had 7 years of coverage and now three more years. Don't forget he offers GMPP for all GM cars.

My GMPP on my 2001 picked up over $16,000 in repairs the past year (including a new engine)! But, I would much rather have not had to use it at all. It was in the shop for a total of two months and it is all the other damage they do while trying to fix the covered problems - especially the scratches in the clearcoat, etc.

But if you HAVE to use it - it is a life-saver.

Why did you need a new engine?

Yea, it's nice to have, and I am glad not to have used mine yet!
However, I am concerned as to what happens if GM goes under.
Anyone know?
