Well spotted!

 

I bought one two years ago at the discounted price, and have just been badgered to renew it (but at the full price). Now I can buy it at the discounted price again  

 

One of the weird things about it is that they send you a paper invoice each month just before activating the DD payment. It seems completely pointless and just increases their admin costs!!

if (like me) your car has done 125,00ish then you don't get the MOTs, the roadside assistance or warranty extension

The 2 options you do get (which in fairness are discounted from when I looked a few weeks ago) are:

Fair point, but my car is just over 3 years old and has only done 17,500 miles. As I bought it with a 5 year factory warranty, the All-In-One option is needlessly expensive for me. However as I understand the spark plugs are changed at the 4 year service and cost £120, the Service Plan Plus looks attractive this time.

 

I was paying £15.20 per month for the basic Service Plan when I bought it in April 2022, so the discounted price increase is pretty reasonable - especially compared with full price product Skoda were encouraging me to buy a couple of weeks ago.

Never noticed the Sevice Plan Plus before. Is that something new?

 

So for your extra £149 over the standard plan, the 'Plus' gets you an air filter + spark plugs?   That doesn't appear to be very good value.

 

I took out the ordinary service plan when it was on offer at £16 a month last year. If I was to do it now, I'd do the same. An Air Filter? £10 tops and it's the easiest DIY job going which leaves £139 for spark plugs ?

 

Not sure what Skoda charge for changing plugs these days but going back to Europarts who fitted my brake discs - plugs £62 + £42 fitting = £104.  Surely Skoda won't charge more than £139 to fit plugs during a service 😲
 

 

On my car, the spark plugs had been changed at service before taking out All in One, so at second of the All in One services told them to change spark plugs as it was included, even though not due.

 

They were effectively free, so silly not to have it.

 

 

 

 

Skoda Service Schedules in the UK do show the spark plug replacement as @ 4 year / 40,000 miles.

No Fuel Filters with a Petrol as a scheduled item and as far a TDI,s if every 4 years / 40,000 miles then good.

But they show Air Filters @ 6 years / 60,000 miles. 

 

Main Dealership service staff were quoting in 2023 £125 for spark plugs replacement and it was regardless of a 3 cylinder or 4 cylinder TSI.

Bit of a bummer for me. My karoq is 3 years old on 6th april, offer ends on 2nd april and skoda wont let me buy the 'all in' until the car is 3 years old, so I miss out on £180 discount!

Sorry but not for the first time I’m confused or perhaps it’s just another grey moment.

Our Sportline was registered in November 2020 and was bought in April last year and it came with warranty until April 2025 and roadside cover until November 2025 so to my way of thinking the fact that there’s roadside cover makes the all-in-one plan unnecessary. 

Now this is what’s confusing me. Looking at Skodas service schedules am I right to think in yr4 I get the oil and inspection (£220) plugs and pollen filter but in yr5 the oil and extended inspection (£285) - air filter doesn’t appear until yr6? If that’s correct and the plugs are a minimum of £120 by my reckoning that makes the £22.60 worthwhile. 
Perhaps someone would confirm my thoughts are right.

Sorry, but I’ve never been involved with service plans before and the concept of a dealer offering something for below what the servicing would otherwise cost is a novel one to me. Appreciate they get the money upfront but still seems a reasonably decent deal. 
Thank you

Registered Nov 2020 = original manufacturers warranty + recovery ended Nov 2023

 

Car bought April 2023 - came with 2yr warranty = ends 2025.

 

It's the roadside recovery I don't understand. They've added the 2yr to the original warranty? That's odd. It's usually 2yr from the time of purchase.   I'd double check that.

 

If you took out a 2yr Service Plan Plus then:

 

Nov 2024 you should get oil + inspection + pollen + plugs.

 

Nov 2025 you should get oil + inspection + extended scope

 

Now if it were me, I'd take the basic 2yr service Plan  i.e.

 

Nov 2024 oil + inspection + pollen

Nov 2025 Oil + inspection + extended scope

 

and I'd organise the plugs to be changed in Nov 2024 seperately. As for the air filter - it should cost no more than £10 and is an easy  1min DIY job, and I certainly won't be waiting until year 6. I'll change it myself at year 4. In fact thinking on it, I'll change it right now. ( car is 3.5yr old ). Air filters are typically changed every 2yr, perhaps sooner depending on what part of the world you live. I might only change it every 6yr if I lived on the moon.

 

When I bought my plan, they also offered a 3yr service plan - not sure if they still offer that.

 I agree with the rationale, the basic plan is going to cost me £393.60, the plus plan £542.40, the only difference being the plugs and it’d be better and indeed cheaper to get those changed separately with the yr4 service. Thank you

I had an email from the dealers advising the breakdown cover was to November 2025 but will certainly check it.

Since yesterdays post the dealers have confirmed the spark plugs now come in at ‘£150’ (clearly they’ll be fitting gold-plated ones) so it would be better to go with the plus plan as that’d include the air and fuel filters. Will then ask the plugs and air filter be done this year.

As for the roadside, I have an email advising this is in place to November 2025 and asked that Skoda confirm this is indeed correct and will be honoured 

Hi.

Service and MOT or okay but I'd be weary of the warranty. I have been having problems with the Blind Spot monitoring system since Aug 23 cars has been in 4 times and they don't know what the problem is. I'm sure they thought I was imagining it.

Provided video evidence and only admitted there was a fault when I went on a test drive with a technician and he saw why I was complaining for months. Now Skoda want me to pay for more diagnostics to find the fault. How much is that going to cost? It seems to me they have an unpublicised limit.

Last time I looked online plugs were selling for around £18 each.

I bit the bullet and went with the plus plan. On the strength of what the dealer said servicing would otherwise be costing over the next two years it seemed a decent deal. I accept their pricing for plugs and filters is over what a normal person would pay but it’s more for the convenience and  paying for the forthcoming work by DD may well prove better than trying to find £££ when the car goes in

After I posted earlier about just missing out on the 20% discount because my car was registered on 6th april, I contacted skoda to see if they could be flexible about the deadline date. They replied after the deadline had passed and said someone would ring me. When the guy rang I told him I had already bought the all in plan at £37.50 a month. He apologised for not getting back to me earlier and said I could have the discount and a cheque arrived yesterday from VW for £180. Well done Skoda. Lovely jubbly.

Wonder if that is Skoda or VWFS?   Anyway none of these people actually work for VW Group, they contact out customer service to an American company, TTEC.

 

I tried similar with daughter's Ateca - the SEAT dealer didn't apply the 5yr warranty, didn't tell us, kept the money (I paid separately) and it was only a chance conversation with the the "SEAT" call centre when the car was 3 yrs old that revealed it wasn't in place.  

 

So we took All In instead, and a week later they started the black Friday discount - they wouldn't hear of giving us the discount.  They said I culd cancel but tha would mean (at the time) the car needed another dealer check before it could have a new All In plan which would have been a right faff to go through again with daughter's madly busy life.

When I said 'why not reduce my direct debit rather than give me a cheque' they said they couldn't  because the dd went to VW and the discount came from Skoda

The offer is back! expires Sept 10th
