Which service plan or not?

Featured Replies

I have just purchased a 22 plate Kodiaq L&K 35,000 miles.

It came with the standard 12 month warranty from a Skoda dealership.

I have taken out the "Skoda Extended Plus " warranty for a bit of piece of mind.

Recently serviced and Haldex done etc.

I don't need the warranty that "All In" plan gives but is it worth the money for the servicing & MOT.

I get AA breakdown with my bank.
Cheers

If the car has been recently serviced, why worry about a service plan at moment

You could just as easily put £30-40 per month in a drawer at home, so that you have a pot of cash to pay for next service (or could set up standing order transfer to a deposit account).

Ultimately all the plans are to benefit Škoda, and try and lock you in to their servicing and be profitable for them. However they jazz it up they haven't been created for you to get a bargain and save a fortune, they are gain for dealers.

From memory no plan is comprehensive, there are always bits not included, and unless you do typical mileage, the parts that are due by the calendar (every 2 or 3 years), don't always coincide with those that are mileage based. So end up with bits of plan covering items not yet due, and others due but not in the plan. Rather restrictive if ideally you need part servicing at different times of the year.

In my case it wouldn't be. My All-In is £900

My last two services were O&I with extended scope, and O&I, totalling £667. I paid £98 for the brake fluid change, which is not included in the service plan.

So even adding the cost of two MOTs would mean I'd overpay.

However as a package, including the MOTs, breakdown cover and warranty, I consider it to be very good value for money.

My one issue with the plan though is that due to anniversary dates I have to pay for one MOT myself, unless I visit the service centre twice, and it's sufficiently far to be an inconvenience.

My current Kodiaq has passed 2 years old. I just buy oil and filter and ask my very close (500 meters) general “fix it” garage to change my oil.

That’s all a dealer does for a basic service.

Air filter. Easy.

Pollen filter. Easy.

Check tyres. Easy.

Check brake pads. Easy.

Check tyres. Easy.

Check wipers. Easy.

I do not need a Skoda chipmunk to send me a video underneath the car to tell me it’s not falling apart.

It’s all a big game to put money into Skoda dealer coffers.

It’s a joke.

I rang Marshall Skoda in Reading a couple of months ago about an annual service for my 2021 Sportline and was quoted over £500, the Service Plan Plus is £708 for 2 services with a pollen, air and fuel filter change. Not sure if the Marshall quote included the 2-yearly Haldex service but on the face of it the plan doesn't seem too bad. Looking at online prices around the country and it does seem to vary a lot though!
