Volkswagen Used Car Service Plans - 25% Black Friday Saving - £372 @ Volkswagen

Exactly!

I pay for an oil change at a local garage (who stamp the book) and then change all the other filters myself. I keep the receipts in a folder. I’ve sold several cars and nobody has ever questioned where it was done. Even We buy any car are only interested in when it was last done.

Makes me laugh, independents in Berkshire are similar price or more expensive than main dealers. I went to a main dealer to get the cam belt and water pump replaced on a Peugeot 307 xsi for £400, which was £200 cheaper than independents.

You should never assume main dealers are more expensive. (edited)

Any VW dealership in the network. You don't have to pick one and stick with it.

The service you receive should be standardised throughout the network.

VW also advertise a price match to any quote within 5 miles of the retailer, unsure if this would be applicable to the P/M plan, but worth keeping in mind if paying outright if they look to be more expensive than your f1 auto care

It's personal preference. Some favour main dealer servicing for the goodwill opportunities and field campaigns when out of warranty.

Describing them as solely oil changes is erroneous depending on the mileage of the vehicle and the relevant maintenance schedule at that time.

Show us an example where an approved VW dealer charges £100 for a service.

Is the all in plan on offer too? Or is that normal price?

Do they guarantee pick up? Don't see this anywhere

I wonder if those items are retailer dependant - although it shouldn’t be. When I bought my GTI (PP) it went in for some work at a different retailer local to me (300mi from where I bought it) and they told me the Haldex unit and brake fluid were overdue as part of the servicing, when ringing the dealer about this they held their hands up and said it was overlooked and they’d pay for it as they both should be done as part of scheduled servicing… I’d have thought the same would be applicable nationwide? Maybe they just exclude these things on the service plan, therefore offering slightly different inclusions for monthly subscribers - who knows?

Most of the checks aren’t performed at the mot, the mot only doesn’t basic checks. At Audi they produce a video showing any issues. They’ll highlight all the things you need to change with a cost. Most of it I ignore unless I feel it’s needed like tyres and brakes

Where can I find a list and seller of OEM parts please?

The service plan will be activated 48 hours after purchasing online. You can have it serviced any time after that. (edited)

SEAT should be going live sometime today - the whole group will benefit according to the press release.

Oddly only Audi is having a discount on the All-In plan... (edited)

Nope.

No, that's the All In package you've seen.

I have started replacing my own oil on my Mercedes. At least I know its been done properly. Don't even need to lift the car, extract via the dip stick. Oil filter is in engine bay also easy to replace.

Just buy genuine parts to maintain warranty. Block exception allows you to DIY service and maintain warranty if genuine parts are used. Keep dealership parts receipts. Started videoing my DIY services to also prove its done as required.

I service my vw every 10k miles.

Suggest you get it serviced every 10-12 months at least an oil change (edited)

Why, do you expected it for free those days have long gone and covid lockdown killed every bit of hospitality. At my Audi just before lockdown you used to get tea served in a pot with tea cups, breakfast rolls or wraps, croissants, porridge, muffins, Proper coffee, fizzy drinks etc, free clean inside and out, etc. now you get proper coffee and tea served in paper cups and that’s it. Boo! (edited)

No that is a separate charge.

Try here got first year for £199 still not good but a bit better.
