Thought this was part of the purchase process, but it's also available direct from JLR and doesn't tie you to a dealer.

Good news for new and newish customers only I'm afraid.

Like me - seemed a no brainer when I placed my order a week or so ago. Heard a standard service was £350ish a go, so assume this is a loss leader of some sort.

I may take this up.
If you look at the overview of servicing I wonder where they get the standard prices from for the work they do as there isn't much on the list? I presume they check brakes, fixings etc as well?

It's no loss leader as if you look at the service they include it's just an oil and filter change which probably has a cost of well under £100 to the dealer but they charge up to £480 for it! Then once your car is in they can charge ridiculous prices for brake pads and any other consumables at close to £200 per hour labour....

That said it's still well worth taking up!

So does this service plan give you the same services as you would have if you paid for each one individually?

Good question...

Surely there should be a 'renew brake fluid' at 2-years/4-years? I haven't got my service book handy (it's in the car in the garage) but my X3 brake fluid was timed 2-yearly.

edit: Just checked TOPIx and it states that Brake Fluid must be changed every THREE years regardless of distance for the Evoque.

So, is this an additional cost. I'd expect that the service plan included everything in the required service schedule.
