Well my warranty is up in another 1k miles. Curious if I should get another. Currently I'm at 80k miles. If so, should I go with a pricey factory warranty or one from another company.

I gotten mine from another company other than the factory. I have had one every since my factory warrant was up. That was 12 years ago and my current one expires in feb or at 241K miles. It pays for it self, trust me. They covered my water pump and intake leak years back, my fuel pump, and for some reason GM gave me a life time warrant on fuel pump so as long as I own truck that's one part I don't have to worry about, it covered my rear end, and trans. With those low miles yes I would search for another warranty and in the 12 years I never bought a dealer warranty. At 210k miles she still rolling strong.

I bought an extended factory warranty because I'm no mechanic and there are just way too many toys/gizmos that can break on my 2010 Denali.

No real problems so far but I'm still shaking my head that I had to take the car in for "Vibrating Dipstick".

I had to get my heated steering wheel replaced and the motors for my power driver seat... It would've paid for a large portion of a factory warranty extension

Usually, only the factory/brand offered extended warranties are worth it.
For GM, it's GMPP

The number to American Guardian is 1800-579-2233 and that is to the one here in IL. I purchased it from Elite Auto Protection 714-969-1019,Feb 2008 with a 5yr/ 100K miles w/ a $100 deductible. I have had no problems with them.
