Service plan

Kevin58 · July 3, 2020

I’m picking up a 18month old IS300h from a main dealer today and I know they’ll want to try and sell me a service plan.
a) are they worth taking out?

b) how much should I be paying ?

Thanks

Kevin

See https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/servicing-and-maintenance/vehicle-service/#servicing - scroll down and select your car and you will see prices for all services - add up what yours will cost for the next couple of years. The service plan allows you to spread those payments over 24 months Interest free.

My opinion is it is worth it you save about £200-300 so nearly an Intermediate service free

Oh i just paid £700 for 50,60 & 70000 service

£29 for 24 months is a good deal.

Who was that with Sanjib ?

I assume that would be for the Essentials service for cars over 5 years old - I paid about the same for mine when it was 5 years old for my next three services on a service plan. The pre-Essentials services costs (so for cars less than 5 years old, or if you decide not to take the Essentials servicing) are about 50% higher.

Three services for £700 ? Sounds very good , two services would cost £700 norm

Why did it cost £700 for a routine service? Can you post the bill breakdown? I really struggle to see why main dealer servicing is so over priced.

I read it as £700 for 3 services Gang.

The car is a sept 2015 so just under 5 years.

My car is also a 65 plate, I'm thinking also to get a service plan too. Is your next three service the 60K,70K and 80K service and isit the essential package ?

Much more reasonable than I thought:).

I'm sure Lexus will put a stop to that soon or take their franchise away 😞 They don't like people discounting.

I had my 50K service early this month @ 47K miles since it was over 1 year since last service. I just aid the intermediate service charge,

I'm looking at essential service (60K and onwards) for next service or appropriate service plan..

Pricing is appropriate if "essentials" Service plan rather than normal full service for cars greater than 5 yrs old:

even then it is £45 cheaper, but sanjb hasn't stated it is an essential plan.

Chester have just offered me 50K, 60K, 70K plus 3 free MOTs for £841, and 10% off any extras

Seems good value.

Thanks Paul,but why call that a deposit ?

I find that Chester and Tom in particular are nice people to deal with.

I am on my second Service plan with my 13' Is300h. Being able to spread the cost and knowing that you're covered for 3 services is really helpful. I also took out the extended warranty because it covers up to 150,000 miles. I've had the center console LCD and door locks and Battery (the one in the boot) done under the warranty.

Really smart Stu. What is your current mileage ?
