Thanks alleycat, as usual car dealers fail to explain the fine print

Or maybe the shininess of a new car prevented you from realising you were buying a second hand one and what that might mean?

Check in the service manual what interval your car requires. Some require yearly servicing irrespective to maintain the warranty, some its based purely on mileage. The dealership may be trying to 'encourage' you to get your car done every year but relative to your warranty it may actually be 12,000 miles (or 10 or 15 or 20)

Ask the dealer if they'd like to make a 'contribution' to your servicing costs based on the problems you had that required to go in for repairs.
