If anyone needs one, they're currently 15% off until 4th April.

Good spot!
Also 20% off the All-In plan, bargain at £30.40 a month.

I'm really in two minds about this. I have full VW service history to October and I was planning on doing my own servicing from now on. I'm not eligible for the All-In plan as my car is now over 6 years old.
But even with the discount the basic cost of the standard service plan is £222 per service. That's just for them to change the oil, put a stamp in the (virtual) service book and try and upsell a bunch of stuff I don't need.
Is having a full dealer history really that valuable? WWYD?

I would consider how servicing yourself will affect the saleability of the car. Might put potential buyers off and cost you more than you'll save.

That’s nice news for some!
I renewed my All In 3 weeks ago at £38 pm….but I had to because on 1 March my car was 6 years old and then no longer eligible.
I have to say that for a low ish mileage (45k), dealer serviced, one owner perfect car it seems a bit mean to cut-off the deal at 6 yo but there we are.
I’m keeping the car indefinitely so I figure it’s peace of mind.
Happily, the first time I bought All In it was on offer at £29pm so I won once!
-
I have gone through all in and now service pack, one major service left, when the car will be 10 years old next year. At 10 years old, I may self service, at that point the mileage may be up to 17.5k miles!

Yeah this will be the same for us.
Just bought as approved used with the one year warranty but car registered Jan 20, so will have to pay full price in January 2026.

NB : watch your dates for Jan 26 as I just squeezed in between expiry of my last All In and this new one by
4 days. The cut- off is quite unforgiving.

Golf R is a March 19 plate, with 47k on clock, FVSH
It was 6 years old this March, purchased September 2023 so has 6 months to run on the VW Approved Warranty, so it would be great to be able to go All in One from September for 2 more years.
Just input the reg and mileage in the service plan system and All in One was offered as an option.
So is the car classified as 6 years before the car turns 7 years old (March 2026) and you can purchase All In One till that 7th birthday?
Also, if I was to do All in One now, to take advantage of the 20% can you define the start date?
-
I would have a chat with VWFS. I had to phone them as the system wouldn’t clear so denied me the ability to buy a new agreement on- line.
The chap I spoke to was extremely helpful.
I would double check on availability and retain the name of the person you speak to.

My car turned 5 years old this month and my All-in service plan finished. I will probably renew it again as the current spring offer is only 41p per month more than I had been paying.
My mate has the All-in on his Passat. His two years are up in October but his car will be 6 years old in July. He had a service last week and was told to ring up just before the car is 6 years old, pay off the balance then take out a new All-in plan. Would be full price by then though unless they do another offer.

Hi,
I lurk and occasionally hijack relevant and useful threads!
I have a 2015 MK7 GTI (only 29k miles) that I’ve serviced with the dealer since owning from new.
The service plan in on is up for renewal and the spring deal is a more economical way to buy it but I see they have jacked up the price and also reduced the scope of the plan.
Is it still worth getting the minor and major done under the premium option or stick with the two ‘minor’ services on what they describe as their now ‘standard’ service plan?
Deal expires tomorrow so grateful for any advice.
For info:
1) Standard Service Plan £443
Incl 2x services & 1x pollen filter
2) Service Plan Plus £601
Incl 2x services & 1x pollen filter AND 1x air filter change & 1x spark plug change
(Note the cost of the service plan I paid for in 2022 was £372 with air filter and spark plug changes!! Equivalent to today’s ‘Service Plan plus’ option)
I’m currently leaning towards the £443 and then do air filter myself and leave plugs for another two years as it’s low mileage. I’m also conscious of the thermostat housing ticking clock too (could do spark plugs then ?) and have some suspension work to be done to fix bush that has popped out of collar.
Not great at DIY but hope you can shed some light on the value of the two minor service plan in particular.
Thank you :smiley:

If I assume correctly then that you had the spark plugs changed in 2023 or 2024, I'd go with what you are thinking. Pretty sure they won't need changing in the next couple of years.

Hi Watts, thanks for replying. And yep - confirmed air filter and spark plugs changed in 2023 with dealer. Hoping a dealer service is still worth it even for a minor. I use a local garage on the other car and it’s probably about the same price but with extra filter changes.

My grandson has just purchased an Audi A3. All in plan is £887.76. Cheekily tried to get him the VW plan but on putting in the number plate was told "this is not a VW". :sad: All handled by vwfinance so a bit surprised at the huge difference in prices.
