Default EasyCare

<b><i>*knocks on wood*</i></b>

I had 2 claims on my S4 this past year, (including new turbos) and both were covered by the TotalCare service contract.

It has more then paid for itself 2x so far (over $4k), and I will be taking it in for some more covered repairs next month.

Now that I said that, I'm sure my luck will change...<ul><li><a href="http://www.easycare.com/">Easy Care (crappy website design)</a></li></ul>

Or this?

jk. I kept finding good and bad experiences with extended warranties. than i saw many after market warranties were going bankrupt. thus i chose to keep the money in my pocket. Glad they are covering you though. No hassles when trying to claim through them?
