My 2000 BMW X5's warranty will be up in March 2005. What I am finding is that the dealers is trying to push off all the expensive repairs until after it expires. I have 35k on the car and wanted the brakes and rotors replaced and they keep saying they there is x% left on the pads and still dont need to be replaced. I took it in yesterday to have the brakes checked due to it pulling to the left when the brakes are applied and they said i need the tires rotated, balanced. and a front end alignment. Can you believe they charge $90 to balance the tires.. they must use gold weights instead of lead. I had them just rotate the tires and will do the rest when i have the tires replaced but once again the brakes were with in spec. My question is are there any reputable extended warranty programs other than BMW. They want $3200 to extend the original one..
Thanks
