ok, my manufacturers warranty finishes in nov, and i called up g bros. unfortunately, they do not offer extended warranty on amg and selected benz models. too much risk i guess.
i was thinking of using a thrid party insurance company, like allianz, etc. any experiences?

Allianz and swann won't offer extended warranty. Theyr obviously the best and underwrite oem extended warranty policies
However i have found 2 other companies that will provide extended warranty cover for varying time periods. They are also underwritten byi insurance companies. Ive read the pdf as has mybrother and i cant find any rrestrictions or obvious red flags. It looks like a legit option

Southern Sydney

Reviving this thread... Any recommendations for South Sydney? I live in the Sylvania area.

Just purchased a beautiful 2005 MY06 W211 E350. Looking for a knowledgeable trustworthy independent specialist. Happy to travel to other parts of Sydney if necessary. Have heard good things about West Star Auto.
