Auto Repair Warranty Reviews? anyone use them?

I was reading from another user about this company (yes thats their name AITO REPAIR WARRANTY) lol, i got a pretty nice quote from them , with an additional $400 surcharge they would cover the complete airmatic suspension. Family owned company thats been around for 27+ years.

Anyone ever use them? any reviews? I am looking to purchase an extended warranty pretty soon thanks.

If you guys have any extended warranty companies that you can recommend , that COVERS the airmatic suspension please share, thanks!

I have ARW. Very straight forward with repair and paying the service facility. Already used once since purchasing two month ago. Marty is the one I have talked to and purchased the warranty. I did not get one for Airmatic.

Yes. It was serviced from MB dealer. I don't know your location, but make sure to call first and ask if they accept aftermarket warranty. I know some dealer in Minnesota does not accept aftermarket warranty.
What year, model, and mileage if you don't mind me asking?

before doing this, I suggest you check out the Chrysler service contract warranty. I purchased one, and its gotten great reviews, and is not terribly expensive. I have yet to use it, but I expect no problems.

Also important part for choosing the aftermarket warranty company is their financial stability. I used to have Ultimate Warranty Corp on my wife's Chrysler minivan. Went bankrupt and I still have claims to be paid. Now Chrysler is unstable with financial turmoil, I am not sure if that will still be standing strong in a year...

He is the all knowing aftermarket warranty guru and sells all different warranties for Audi, Mercedes and BMW.
I would email him and see what his opinion is.
