New Porsche fixed price service plan

[SAC1]

No service plan is available for my GTS on checking the Porsche Web site.

We have a VW Finance two year service plan for our SEAT Leon FR 2.0i @ £14.99 p m. X 24 = £357.60. This covers a minor and major service, but not the bi-annual brake fluid change @ an extra £59. It also includes 2 years roadside assistance.

This would have made sense if I had known about it earlier as my major service was done in Feb 2023. Considering my next service is in Feb 2025, anyone know how this will work? When I go through the plan, if you click on the £86 per month, it states the service plan to cover "Your next 2 services". So what will this cover? My next minor service in 2025 followed by the major one in 2027? Or will it cover my minor service after which they will tell me "Sorry but your plan expired in 2025!"

Does it actually save any money?! Seems more like a ploy to keep owners tied to expensive OPC servicing.

Not now I don't think. I found this on the web:

The discounted plans are available from 28 March and run until Monday 2 May. Customers who drive a Volkswagen or Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle between 3-6 years old are entitled to a 25% discount* on an All-in plan, or 25% off Service Plans on vehicles 1-15 years old.

This was for VW Group cars not just VW cars. Explains why the prices have gone up from my quote.

So, brake fluid change not included? And no spark plugs at major service?

Had my first service notice pop up on the dash a couple of days ago, so rang OPC for a quote… £1084.

I asked for a breakdown of the costs and long story short, I got it down to £445. I refused to have the drainage check (design flaw) for £63 and the lady also said she ‘missed’ the fact I had an oil change 5 months ago, even though she confirmed she had the details in front of her… I hate someone trying to pull the wool over my eyes, erodes trust rather than builds it. I also rejected the air con recharge..!

In short, I don’t believe the service plan represents good value at all.

I spotted that. It’s just 2 oil changes and inspections. Plus a mot. Pretty costly imho

Extortionate.

If you want to save even more, decline to have the TOPUP/BAG and WINDOW CLEANER OUTER which are automatically included in OPC service quotes. The top-up litre of oil probably won't ever be needed (I have 3 in my boot now) and the bottle of screenwash additive has no antifreeze properties so isn't fit for purpose. I've just booked a service, and declining these items dropped the price by £36.

These are included. You have to drill down into their website and and put in a reg number for a Gen2 and mileage. Gen3 will not work
This will bring up the page listing the jobs done on each service. It does say it includes brake fluid on each service and for the major
service panroof drains are checked, spark plugs changed, replace tyre sealant.
I can't seem to copy a link to the page

Not sure if this will work as it only brings up the start page
