Servicing Costs

[saleemarshad]

Hello
My car is due for a B service in about 3 months time. I’m not sure if I am better off with the Service Plus contract.
The car is a 2 year old C180K -petrol done abt 24000 miles and about 10K annually.
It may need a break pad change. And an MOT in a year’s time.
I’m not sure what other wear and tear parts might be needed in the next 2 years or at this service.

A 2 year service contract plus is costing abt 60 a month i.e. So 720 a year.
This includes labour and parts – incl. wear and tear.

Advice from others who have made this decision is appreciated.
Thanks
Saleem

Loads of posts if you search under 'Service Contract Plus'. I went with it for £41 per month over 2 years when my CLK was 3 months away from coming out of warranty. Only do 7000 a year though.
It's been brilliant, had an MOT at 3 years; the last service in Jan 08 was a B service, plus a few extra items were carried out under SCP, i.e brake fluid change, new wipers, high level brake light (cracking), a free winter screen wash pack, New 57 plate CLK as a courtesy car.
The car was about 5 months out of warranty at this service. Total peace of mind, plus it helps you get value out of a car by not changing too early, as some do, 'just to be safe'.
People on here are still looking for the catch, but no ones reported anything significant as yet.
