Actually this is quite interesting to me. The wife's car (a 2016 Polo Blue GT), is now over 2 years old and she loves it, so she's decided she wants to purchase it outright next year (we have the money to pay it off already). thing is when we purchased the car, we got the dealership to throw in the 2 years free servicing. Well, she's recently used the last of her two free services, so we were wondering what to do next year when the 3rd year one is due ?
Are you saying that you can extend the service contract with VW, if so how please ?
I don’t think you can extend the original service plan that you had. VW have a service plan for cars over 1 year old, so you’d just take out a new two year plan for cars over 1 year old. This gives you one minor and one major service and you can pay the full cost up front or pay monthly over an 18 month period. Total cost is £476.82, which doesn’t represent much of a saving over VW’s current prices for a minor and major service, but I like the convenience of paying monthly, and the cost of the service plan is inflation proof, should VW decide to increase its servicing costs. When I took this plan out, it represented an overall saving of around £25 for the two services. It’s a bit less of a saving now, as the monthly cost has increased from £25.99 to £26.49.
Unlike the 3 year service plan I had on my mk6 Golf, VW’s current 2 year service plans don’t include a brake fluid change, so you’d need to factor in the cost of this at the 3 year service (current cost £64 on VW website)

The one that Watts has sound like it may be a dealer’s own service plan and it’s a little cheaper (£22 x 20 payments so £440), and also includes reduced cost MOTs and collection / delivery of customer’s car.
