Warranty question: "The Mechanic" backed by "Automotive Warranty Services"
edit: because I'm in California it's not administered by "Automotive Warranty Services", instead it's "Motor Warranty Services of North America".
Has anyone had first hand experience with this warranty company, specifically their exclusionary platinum plan? Their top plan (platinum) reads very similar to Fidelity's platinum plan (and I've had a great experiences with Fidelity). Any input? Thanks
edit 2: here's the contract wording on the platinum coverage: (sorry for the formatting)

take the car in and have an inspection done... if the dealer finds anything wrong, claim it under warranty? hows your intercooler pump working?
