Did you buy an approved used car? If so check on Topix that the last owner didn't take out the 5 year service plan as it is transferable between owners. My local dealership didn't sell me my car but it has had 2 services with them and they told me when I booked it in that it was covered by the service plan even though I didn't buy it from them. I have heard of dealers not telling people that their used car is covered, however the service reception is supposed to also check if the car is covered by the plan. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Yup it was approved used. Bought Nov '16 when the car was 1yr old.

Might be worth paying the lower amount for the next two services then if they cost around £650 a pop and the plan is only £750.............. does that plan cover MOTs too? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Not having a service plan I haggled my 2nd service down from £661 to £575.00. |

I asked how much the third service would cost and she said £450, so as you say, paying £750 now for a 2x service pack seems like a no brainer. SOLD - MY16 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic - Fire Engine Red, Fixed contrast pan roof, TV, Dual Screen, 5+2, Privacy, Noble paddles. |

Interesting, was that labour costs, or did you barter on 'supplying my own oil' costs etc? SOLD - MY16 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic - Fire Engine Red, Fixed contrast pan roof, TV, Dual Screen, 5+2, Privacy, Noble paddles. |

No, that was simply due to calling two dealers. First dealer quoted £661.00, second dealer quoted £611.00. Then I did nothing for a week, after which the first dealer called me to ask why I hadn't confirmed the booking . So, I said I'd been offered a much lower price and would go elsewhere. There was a brief discussion and then they offered £575.00.

I had luck too as I'd booked in at £750 for a 60 month service, then called another dealer who priced at £520. I called the original dealer to either cancel or compete and they dropped to £560 (including an MOT by 3rd party tester).

Thanks all - I'll ring around, and if I don't get any joy with the costs then I'll go for the 2x service pack. SOLD - MY16 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic - Fire Engine Red, Fixed contrast pan roof, TV, Dual Screen, 5+2, Privacy, Noble paddles. |
