Millions do. Why do you think auto manufacturers offer two and three
year warranties? It's not out of the goodness of their hearts. First
it's good for sales, but more importantly the warranty ensures that
you get your car serviced by one of the manufacturer's dealers for the
entire duration of the warranty - otherwise your guaratee is void.
