Annual Service

darktrader

Bought a new car last year in December - bargain! First registered 18th December 2007. Will it affect the "Book Price" if the service History shows the first Service as next January?

A time issue rather than money. If I could have the service done in January rather than December it would be more convenient.

Any one know?

im sure it will be fine, as long as its done and not massivley overdue in terms of mileage

As long as you are not going over the mileage, I would not worry. Even less so if yu are keeping the car for 2+ years more. However what are the requirments for the warranty you don't want to invalidate that.

Some cars have dashboard info which tells you when service is due.

I would read the warranty requirements very closely!

Personally, I would not risk it. They can be so picky. If you have any warranty issues down the line, they could use it against you if you are a few weeks over... but then they may not. Is it worth the risk?

Warranty - good point. I'll book a service tomorrow - after the VAT drops

There is always a bit of leeway on servicing times regarding warranty,check with your dealer or it may be in your handbook
