_______________________________________________________________________
I have bought a Volkswagen Up! and have had it for just under 3 weeks now.
I received pricing for the car services:
10,000miles/1st year,
20,000/2nd year,
30,000/3rd years {whichever comes first}
However I received one a quote for a fixed priced "service and maintenance" plan.
These plans are based on mileage and come in three types. You can see this on the
box on the right from Volkswagen's own website:
www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/servicing/servicing-plans:
-Service
-Service + Maintenance
-Service + Maintenance + Tyres
I will give you the standard pricing and my quote as follows:
Service Prices:
10,000miles/1st year:
-Oil change Service £184.75
total: £185.75
20,000/2nd year:
-Interval Service £242.35
-Replace Pollen Filter £27.68
-Air Conditioning service £79.00
total: £349.03
30,000/3rd years
-Inspection & Oil change £384.12
-MOT £54.85
-Replace brake fluid £66.37
total: £449.97
Over 3 years that means a grand total of £983.75
Fixed cost service and maintenance plan:
NOTE: For this plan, I had to decide my annual mileage. My mileage was set at 12,000. I think you have it serviced every year at your set mileage as opposed to every 10,000. Correct me if I am wrong.**
Service: yes
Maintenance: yes
Tires: no
Contract Period: 36 months
Number of Payments: 36
Annual Mileage: 12,000 miles
Total Contract Mileage: 36,000 miles
Total Monthly Installment: £19.31
(x36) total: £695.16
Personally, I only think I need the Service (oil change every year etc)
considering its a brand new car, if anything else goes horribly wrong,
it is still under warranty (with some exceptions).
What are you opinions? Any anyone get/not get a service plan on a new car?
1) **Is this correct?
2) Can I get it serviced cheaper elsewhere by a dealer that uses
genuine VW parts and the VW service stamp so that my warranty is not
affected?
Thank you.
