Car service and maintenance is good to have this?

Question

I just bought a new car VW polo.They asked me if i want to have service and maintenance for extra payment at 18 a month..Not sure if this good service.Is it worth it to have it? O maybe you will spend less money in other garage,which can provide you parts for VW.Has anyone had this experience before? Any information will be usefull.Thank you

Answer 1

The dealership is usually the most expensive place to get your car worked on.  

Answer 2

If it's a service deal with a brand new car, they tend to offer very good value, and you'll also maintain a main dealer service history.

If it's on a used car AND at a none - franchised dealer, I wouldn't bother, just have the car serviced anywhere.

In either case, check what is & more importantly isn't covered - If it doesn't cover cam belt, brakes, fluids or filters, then it's worthless. If it's pretty inclusive, then again, I'd take it.

Answer 3

Good idea.

Answer 4

For a new car its a good idea, make sure that you understand what level of services will be covered by the agreement and if there is any mileage limitations on it.

Ja.

Answer 5

You've already been ripped off and lost about 2K off what you've payed just by driving it off the forecourt so you may as well stay on trend a shell out more to sevice it!!

Answer 6

if you get a service with a VW dealer then they keep a history of it and it is easier to sell on in the future as the buyer will know it has been looked after by someone that specialises in VW
