I definitely recommend it! My iMac G4 was repaired under it in 2007 when it failed. Apple did a top-notch job and returned it to me jolly quick. in 2009 it was destroyed by a dozen lightning strikes on my property; destroying the power supply and logic board. Since it was then out of warranty, it now sits atop my stand-up stand, as I have no where to store it.
Since then, I bought a MacBook Pro with Leopard and bought AppleCare for it. This year I sent it back as the warranty was about to expire; they sending a box overnight via FedEx, and the replaced the optical drive … CD/DVD ROM and SuperDrive, network card, Airport card, logic board, and Airport card [did not know it was bad], and returned it to me overnight via FedEx. I am on it now. Purchased another MacBook Pro on eBay [won the bid] for $677.00 including shipping with a 500 GB HD [my original has a 160 GB HD]. They even re-installed my third-party software back onto it! It now works better than ever! I'm a real happy camper now! I also get AppleCare for my iPods! None have failed yet; but, it surely is worth it just for the no-cost phone help!
