    Confused, dont get why you say that.

    I said I assume it works out better or they would not offer it.

    So basicly saying it probley gets you a saving doing it this way and its easy to work out.

    I just also highlighted if your doing high milage then the deal is not such a good offer as it does not cover things that are covered in other types of maintenance packages like what I have been looking at.
    Ok, my assumption was that you were saying that it would work out better for the Dealer! Apologies :o

    I'm still trying to establish which cars have free servicing for three years.

    I believe you get "free" servicing if you take out VW financing.

    All VWs are eligable as long as they are new Volkswagen models (including BlueMotion), eligible demonstrator models or Stock Clearance Vehicles. The offer is valid until the 31st March 2011.

    So, not all cars have free servicing for the first three years.

    You really should have qualified your post with:
    It's actually free with the purchase of most VOLKSWAGEN cars
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    Sorry, I took that as a given, considering we were talking about VOLKSWAGEN!?!

    Not really, no. When you said the most cars come with free servicing, any sensible person would think that you believed that most cars came with free servicing. :)

    I can't see how this sentence might be confusing??

    The OP asked about VW, I replied and mentioned another VW offer?

    I'm happy to confirm it didn't confuse me - but then again I was looking for a brand-specific answer.

    Thank you for everybody's input. Think I'll get that servicing package then.

    I have bought this package along with my brand new golf about a month ago.

    I got a golf bluemotion last year on VW solutions, and got 3 yr free servicing, had first one last October and due next one soon(at 18000 just now). I think the free servicing offer just now is if you take out the vw solutions, but can be bought for £299 for other non financing ways of payment.

    When I was looking for my car I visited another vw dealer, who offered a similar deal, but it wasn't vw's service plan, it was more like a 69 point service you get at kwik fit or somewhere like that.

    Also what I was told at my dealership was that I could take my car to any vw service centre to have it done, but if I take it to them, they get the payment from vw for carrying out the service, which is probably the real reason for some dealers not wanting to promote it too much, you may decide it's easier to take it to another vw service centre at another part of the country.
    Thanks to all the competition posters.

    It matters not where you take it, the price the finance company/VW pay is the same few pennies at every dealer/servicing satellite from Lands End to John O'Groats. You may as well keep it local to you, and then you have better come back & hopefully relationship should it be needed in the future (for discounts etc :wink:)
