Not in the least. What good is a warranty if 90% of what fails on your
car is somehow excluded or if your have had to bring in your car a dozen times?
Every time a section of a car is repaired, it becomes even less reliable.
I can't tell you how many times I've seen loose bolts and rattling dashboards
left in the wake of a hurried dealer repair job.
