Service Plan Costs

stunt · 25-10-2012 08:57pm

Ive just done a plan a 3 year plan for £878 which i think is really good value.

The good thing about these plans is that they are so flexible.

I can transfer it to a new car. If I sell the car after servicing I get the prorata balance back. If I sell the car tommorrow prior to any service id get all bar £20 back.

When you look at the cost of a B service - around £450 and an A around the £320 mark this isnt a bad deal

I've just been quoted £388 for my first service. Will shop around and see what's on offer.

Maybe you should prnt out this thread and show the dealership what other delaers are charging and see if they will price match?

I'm sure I'll get it cheaper either in north Wales or the north west. It'll be up to them to price match.

I've previously found James Edwards LR in Chester (think they're called something different now) very good at price-matching all the NW/N Wales LR dealers and knocking a bit extra off for the extra miles.

Being close to collecting my car, thought I phone my closest dealer to get an indication of servicing costs and fixed priced plans so I could compare. Did not buy the car from them as they had a 9 month delivery schedule.

As a clue to what was to come, I was passed around three times before I was given a quote for the first service ... wait for it.... £484 Shocked

!!!

I nearly fell of my seat and I was in my car at that time! The dealer - Hadley Green Barnet. My shock resulted in them saying that the best price they could do was £457. When I politely told them that they were still significantly more expensive than some Central London dealers, I was put on hold while the 'manager' was consulted. They came back with a price of £390.

They do not offer a fixed price service plan. Don't know if their pricing is due them being a combined JLR+Bentley dealership in essentially one location. Anyway will be not be going there!

£390 is the standard charge for most london dealers - £195 for an hour and a half labour and £195 for the parts.

Where did you get the £878 plan from? That sounds like a decent deal if you can get your money back if you don't use it.

£850 for first 3 - interest free payments over 32 months - seems like a good deal to me...

Hi Stunt,
Is that a 3yr deal or a 3 service deal? What annual mileage did you quote when you set it up? Farnell in Bradford offered me a 3 year deal but based on 12k miles p.a.
When I told them I did 26-28k per year, it rocketed up to nearly £1400!!!
Went with Hillendale in the end, first 3 services £999
