I take my car to an independent shop which has no problem with submitting claims to WD (i******************************** here in Phoenix). There may be shops in your area that will honor extended warranties, too.

If you don't intend on owning the car very long, the risk of not having a warranty may be reasonable. If you're planning on owning the car very long, however, in my experience with BMW's and Porsches, they have a lot of expensive minor repairs (e.g. electrics, emission, suspension, etc.) and if you're unlucky, some very expensive major repairs (e.g. RMS, IMS -> engine failure, tranny issues, etc.). I look at it as at worse paying for peace of mind, and at best, as avoiding a huge repair bill.
