I have an ASC warranty that is their "factory like" coverage. I paid about $3000 for 4/48. So far they have covered parts and labor that has totaled well above $5000. They are fair and only question the estimate if it is above $2000. Great company and great customer service. Highly recommend them.

Nice I'm in between Warranty Direct and ASC. I've heard good things about both. I will look into Royalty as well. I sent both contracts to my indy and hes going to give me his opinion on which to go with since hes the one thats going to be dealing with them.

Congrats on the new ride. Beautiful car. Just food for thought; insurance companies (warranty in this case) adjust their pricing based on likelihood of payout. If the paid out more than they take in - on average - they'd lose money and wouldn't be in business. I understand the peace of mind is invaluable to some, but it's not a recommended move from a financial standpoint. There will always be someone quick to post how their warranty paid out, but that's the exception, not the rule.
