Anyone know of dealers offering an upfront/monthly 3 year service plan?

One dealer offered me this at £620 which seemed a bit much for a 1.0 Picanto since servicing is typically £140 minor £180 major at the same dealer :eek:

    What happens when the dealer changes names? My parents got caught out at VW with free MOT's
    for life. Went for the 2nd MOT and the dealer had changed names. Still a VW dealer and the same
    staff but not the same franchise i presume.

    They did the MOT for half price and they have never been back since.

    Didn't think of that - might just save £x per month and pay for it that way!!

    If I'm on a 3 year PCP and giving the car back at the end will I need to give it it's 3rd service?

    service as stated to manufacturers rec and spec, dont be fooled if your handing it back that you dont need to do anything with it because they will have it done on taking it in. you still need to keep the warrenty going or it will devalue drastically.

    I assume the final payment will be due before 02/03/2014 though so the car wouldn't technically have missed it's 3rd service ?

    Kia in Mere, Wiltshire (F J Chalke and Sons) offered a pay monthly system that is basically 0% finance, I would not hesitate to recommend them as a dealer if you are anywhere near the South West!
    Brilliant Service

    then you keep to the specs and recs and when trading in tell them when its due.
