I'd actually give them 1.25 stars. They suck worst of the 3 in Houston market.
They stay in business because they are part of a large auto group and have a captive market on the SW side of town.

arrogant sales tactics and dishonest service practices.

+1. They have tried to overcharge me for service in the past.

So how much $ did you pay for your warranty? I'm curious about how much these warranties cost for a X308.

I'm pondering picking up a 3rd party warranty as well. But so far the well known ones have been less than stellar with their obnoxious sales pitch calling my everyday tactics etc.

Not sure actually. I paid $5900 for the car, warranty and shipping to LA. My guess is these are around $900 or so

Not the whole bill - I picked up fluids and upper/lower/heater hoses and 1/2 water pump per the contract. And sway bar links. So my part was $550.
