Should be getting 1.5 manual Karoq in next couple of weeks and been thinking about the Service plan and extended warranty offered by Skoda. £396 for first 2 services and 4 year / 80 k extended warranty for £300.  Intend to keep the car for 3 or 4 years and cost seems reasonable ish to me. Quite surprised the dealer has not been trying to sell the deal really.

What is the general consensus- good value or not. Realise the extended warranty value, or not, depends a lot on how "lucky" you feel. TIA

If you are keeping the car then in my opinion the extended warranty is worth it. I had mine and it paid off. Servicing, again in my opinion is not as I have always negotiated the price on my service and provided the oil. A lot depends on your relationship with your dealer. Mine is excellent.

It sounds good value to me.

It sounds good value until you see what the service involves. It's a pretty expensive oil and filter change really. You get the warranty cover, but it's really not good value. The problem is all the overheads the dealer has have to be paid by someone. The service manager and general manager couldn't possibly do without a flash car, holiday in the sun etc, the premises costs and taxation alone will be eye watering, then they have to pay the technician £40 and the materials £20 so it's never going to be great value. That's just life.  

 

I hate to say it but I'm probably going to have to pay them to do mine in December for the warrantee cover. 

I will be buying the extended factory warranty, but not the service deal. My previous VW one covered three services rather than two, and seemed worthwhile, but as I go for fixed term servicing I don't want to pay up front for just the two.

Seems extended warranty is regarded as a good deal but not the service. Think I might email the dealer and ask if its possible for him to sweeten the deal if we have it. 

I’ll be buying an extended warranty as well once the car gets to the suitable age.  As it was preregistered I was told I couldn’t do it until the car hit 3 years.  How does it work?  Do I phone a dealer up just before the 3rd birthday and say “oi, I want to throw some money at you for the extra 2 years of warranty”?

I think Skoda also mailshot you (if they have your details, but subsequent owners details aren’t always there)

 

The extended warranty is selective, not comprehensive like the factory extended warranty (only available before car is registered)

 

 

Will be contacting them closer to the 3rd birthday.  Shame not as good, disadvantage of preregistered. 

I emailed dealer last week about extending warranty & service plan but had no reply, must give them a call I think
