I've just had an email from my supplier/dealer offering 20% off Škoda service plans. £364.80 (one-off) or £15.20/pcm (24 payments) for 2 services, one with pollen filter other being extended scope. There's also a 3 service plan with two extended scope services for £537.60 or £22.40/pcm - see https://www.skoda.co.uk/owners/service-plan

 

I'm doing around 15-16,000 miles a year with the car (1.5Tsi ACT) showing about 6000 to the next service/inspection, with the car set to variable intervals. I'll probably keep it another 5 years or so.

 

Would you go for a plan, and which one?

My feeling is the service plans for first 3 years aren’t really good value, they are generally based on a specific mileage, offering one full service and one minor (inspection) service.   If you do 15k miles per year, some of the items due at certain mileages do not synchronise with those that are due for replacement at time intervals.  So can end up paying separately for parts.

 

There is a much stronger case for buying the 2 year plan for 3+ year old cars as they include 2 MOTs, 2 years roadside assistance (UK and Europe) and 2 years warranty.   Getting the warranty and assistance is lot of peace of mind for many (and would cost few hundred pounds to buy these on their own)

 

Thanks @SurreyJohn, I hadn't thought of it from that perspective. Could be useful for the missus' CitiGo though, it's just over 4 yrs old so that extra warranty & roadside could be useful.

Was lucky I told dealership if they wanted me to buy the car they would have to include a 2 year service plan
