They are very profitable to dealers and underwriterers (carriers in US speak), not so for insureds.

Perhaps there is a decent one out there, but I've never seen one.
Guess I am the lucky one then:
Got an extended warranty from warranty direct ~$2.5k
So far they paid for:
- CV boots ~$500 (no problem)
- RMS ~$1k (no problem)
- IMS failure (new engine) ~ $14k (after two months of haggling with them)

So I am currently about $13k ahead
