I've never heard of them. But be cautious of warranty companies that show up at the top of Google searches. Often the companies are complete garbage.

You will have to thoroughly vet them by doing lots of research on the web. Look for ratings and don't be afraid to search other forums (for all types of cars) to see if others have had experience with them. Check BBB and look for customer reviews of the company (not the ones that the company posts on their website).

Never rely on the little brochure that you might see on their website or at car dealers. You will want to ask for and review the entire contract for coverages and exclusions. An exclusionary policy is the only one to go with on a car like the S-class. Make sure that they are backed by a major insurance carrier that's been around a long time. Self-insured companies are a scary prospect as they can fold up their tents and leave any time.

After you've done all of your research and get all of the needed info, be sure to report back here so we can see your results.

Try "CarChex". They are not cheap but always maintained great reviews for aftemarket warranties nonetheless.
