My LBS sells Specialized. I've never needed their warranty, but I've been happy with both the shop and the Specialized products I've gotten there. Good to know that if I ever need the warranty, it's there!
This isn't the first thread I've seen where folks who needed service from Specialized got what they needed. I'm sure it won't be the last.
