    They've chosen to part-ex at a non-honda dealer - so they aren't gaining any of their original investment back.
    But is still a selling point for that dealer on the car.
    "Hi Customer, this car has 2 FREE service left on the service plan" You just have to take it to a Honda dealer...

    A good few years ago I bought a Honda service plan with a 18 month old Civic Type R from a dealer on the south coast. I confirmed the plan provided national coverage. I had 5 services carried by my local Honda dealer. No issues and  great value. Definitely the way to go if keeping the car for a period. I’m sure your mistaken because any and every Official Honda dealer will honour a Honda service plan.
    I can only relate the experience as I have seen with my mother and her 2016 Jazz.  Your experience was obviously different.

    My son bought a second hand Jazz from a Honda garage.When he tried to pay for his first service he was told there was no charge as the previous owner had taken out a service agreement.
