Thanks. Just taken advantage of this.

Thanks.. I ran with it too... Limited availability!

Assume we the pay monthly option you don't have to be fully paid up before the first service?

This was in the FAQs, iirc you have to have made a few payments first, I think it was only 2 or 3.

Just had a look at the link above and you're nearly getting the interim service free! Seems like a no-brainer!

They list oil & filter change (and air filter change, plus pollen filter if required), but not brake fluid or coolant change - due to those being (potentially) in the "Car serviced to manufacturers specific warranty requirements" part?

But if they are, aren't oil & filter (and air filter & pollen filter) likewise covered by that phrase?

When I spoke to them to buy the plan, they said everything that’s covered in a minor service will be done, and everything that’s covered in a major service will be done.

That's is correct according to the details on Seat site last year when I purchased the deal.
Interestingly the VW deal is cheaper than Seat!!

Can you use the VW deal on our cars? How much?

I had a quick look and the VW standard plan for cars over 1 year old and it's £372. This is just for a minor and major service, no mention of the breakdown recovery or any 'Winter Sale' of 25% off.

25% off VW’s All-In product (2 services, 2 years warranty, 2 MOT’s and 2 years roadside assistance) as well as 25% off service plans (vehicles 1-15 years old). Also states it applies to Seat - see link below;

Assuming it's ok, but if you look at the PDF that shows you the 2 year service plan, it shows the last three items are included in the Interim service (on the left).....

..... but when you go through the process of buying the 2 year service plan, it shows the last three items are not included in the Interim service.

The roadside assistance is a biggie for me, and you'd obviously get proof of the service. I reckon someone in the website dept didn't proof read the content!!

Proof reading certainly isn’t one of VW’s strong points. Accurate product / marketing material seems to be the exception rather than the norm for VW.

I’d certainly pass on the forth of those five items listed - I never let the dealer give my car the complementary free courtesy wash as I don’t like the ‘scratch and swirl’ look for my car’s paintwork.

I wonder whether a car that is 5 1/2 years old now will be covered by the All in package for the next 2 years?

 

[H Rafiq]

My cars 7, almost 8, years old, and they were happy to cover it. Almost 100k miles too.

 

[R53Winny]

Just noticed that my car will be excluded for having 1.5 years of the warranty remaining.. I'll just get the service plan..

 

[Tester01]

Just out of interest.

If I got this can I go straight for the major service or do you have to follow the interim one first?

I can't see why you couldn't book what you want first, but it should be whatever is due next.

Agree; the service pack covers two services and AFAIK there’s no stipulation on which should be used first - it should make no difference to Seat whether the major or minor service is the first one.

As you have to enter your mileage and reg, the dealer would probably contact you if they felt the wrong service was chosen. They would also want to get you to go for all the add-ons (if due) like brake fluid change, air con change, etc.

I'll be sorting this out at the weekend, as the prices with then be fixed. I know that the prices with be going up twice before I'd need to use the 2nd service, so should be a good saving.
