Fixed Price Servicing - Worth it?

Featured Replies

Registered my new motor with Skoda Driverline, and was offered the following, trying to work out if its a good deal or not? Looks like no parts covered as such... Worth it?

 

As long as your vehicle was registered under 90 days ago, your vehicle is still eligible for Fixed Price Servicing

The service plan allows you to get your car serviced at any SKODA dealer in the UK and covers the first 3 years or 60,000 miles.

Just 24 monthly payments of £19.00 - You can be rest assured that the job will be carried out by a factory trained technician who cares about the detail. And when it comes to that all important detail called the price, there’s no nasty surprises. The price you see is the price you’ll pay.

 

The above price includes:

1 x Inspection / Oil Service - c18000 miles

1 x Inspection / Oil & Spp Service - c36000 miles

1 x Inspection / Oil Service - c54000 miles

Brake fluid change at 36 months

1 x Pollen Filter c36000 miles

1 x Spark Plug Change (Petrol ONLY) - c36000 miles

1 x Fuel Filter Change (Diesel ONLY) - c54000 miles

1 x Air Filter - c54000 miles

 

As per Skoda's fix service plan that works out roughly £586 vs £456 which is a saving of £130. If that includes the correct maintenance as per Skoda's schedule

As said it's cheaper than the published fixed prices and you are protected from any price rises BUT the published fixed prices are a maximum toy will pay, you can often get it for less. Whether you could get it for much less than your deal I doubt... And depends on your dealer.  It's definitely not a bad deal.  For this reason I paid for the 3 years servicing pack when I bought my car (paid cash so no free servicing deal available)

I put the £479 service pack on the 0% finance.

I was advised by the dealer that it really wasn't worth it at that price...

What mileage are you likely to do in 3 years?

 

If it is less than 36k you will only get 1 service as that is priced on the variable servicing schedule.

£19 x 24 months = £456

 

For this you are getting 2x minor services, 1x major service and 1x brake fluid change.

 

A minor service is £139, a major service is £259 (inc. the fuel, air and pollen filters listed) and the brake fluid service is £49, so £586.

 

As mentioned above if you aren't doing 18,000 miles per year then you won't get your three services in before the 3 year time limit.

 

If your mileage is low then I would ask them if you can have a service carried out every 12 months even if the mileage isn't reached thus ensuring you get all three services.

If you do low miles you do annual servicing so you get 3 services.

Not on the service plan details posted above, the OP would have to ask for the details of the fixed interval service plan
