The only experience I have of them is calling them out when I had a seized brake calliper. He managed to get it freed up enough and asked if I would mind following him 'to a dealer of my choice'. So, off we went, wrecking a disc and one pair of pads in the process but while we explained to the Service desk what the story was, a Courtesy car was being prepared and I Was sent on my way. 2 new discs, a set of pads and one new calliper later and I was on my way, all under warranty.
Very good in my opinion and worth it, if you're not covered through your Bank Account etc., which I am now, FOC for European cover so I cancelled my BMW cover.

I have also never used it abroad,but been on the back of a lowloader twice in this country,once when the alternator packed in and once with a siezed caliper.Ive never had any trouble with them and its worth the money imho.;)

Another seized caliper to the mix. Were you pads overly low when it happened? Mine were pretty fresh looking, just one of those things I suppose ;)
Sorry for thread hijack, moving on. :thumbs:
