I think the service plans cost only covers the servicing at the garage.  The collection-and-drop-off is usually considered a "courtesy" service and, as it was therefore not paid for, can be withdrawn.

No its not! MB recently changed to that ie service plan you pay like we did recently but not before that.
Not familair with Fords, etc - the LR we take down as well as the 911 and VW R type.

Of course you do!

I assumed the more "premium" the brand of vehicle, the greater the propensity of extra "courtesy" services as part of the overall customer experience.
It seems as though I am incorrect.
Glad to have saved my money and not lost out.

You always have to try and mention the high value cars that you own, its like when people name drop celebrities that they’ve met, at any given opportunity

And done inconsistently / incorrectly.
I was sure that VW simply used the "R" monicker without the "type".
Last week, it was a Range Rover, not Land Rover...

We have worked hard, invested and spent our money prudently, and we are proud what we have acheved and this is a motoring thread. If someone posts about their cars and they are nice cars it makes me happy. If someone posts a question about cars and if I can relate to their experience, EG our Merc service plan and no courtesy car like the OP, we had to pay an extra 30 pounds, I will mention it.
You are at your liberty to put me on ignore as are others that don't like my posts but as I said, many OP do thank me so I must be doing something right.

Well done! more importantly though, have you met any celebrities?

If I had a MB S-class car, or any equivalent, I would expect a higher level of customer service as part of an enhanced customer experience.
So glad that I have not wasted my money as it seems I would be sorely disappointed.

Having a £75K Mercedes hardly seems to equate with 'Money Saving'.  I'd vote for the Fiesta!

We've had this sort of discussion before. Yes the Fiesta will do exactly the same job as an S Class. If the Mercedes has been bought with some sort of discount that can be called 'money saving' apparently.

Doing so every 10 months as he/she says he/she says they do has eye watering amount of depreciation though, so I doubt he is saving anything.
