With mine, 4 years ago I managed to negotiate 2 X MOT's included. That made it much easier to accept and I enjoyed not needing needing to negotiate each year.

So, my local dealer has offered a price of just under �2,000 for 3 years servicing (3 services) for my MY 2015 4.4 SDV8. I knew it wouldn't be cheap to service but this is a lot of money for just servicing. Could someone please tell me if this looks like what I should need to pay?

I could also pay it monthly with no interest being added.

Thanks in advance.

When I get the reminder I always contact the dealer and ask for the best price. By contact I mean actually speak to the service manager, not some numpty in a call centre. If it’s reasonable I say ok, if I think it’s steep I say so and 10% is chipped off. Last service (at 4 years old with 33k miles) was £530 inc the MoT. I thought that fair. Will be booking for this year shortly.

I don’t bother with service plans.

Service it when needed. phone around for the best price. even phone a few localish dealerships, then go back to mine with the best price I’ve found in mind and see what they will do. More often than not they will chip it a bit.

I’m not sure the 3/4 year plus fixed price thing is still operative... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I’m thinking if it included some sort of warranty then it would be worth it but not just for servicing.
That 2k is London prices.

I’ve recently considered looking for a warranty for my new ride whilst the mileage is low but I heard that you can only take this out with the main stealers if you do it whilst the original warranty is still in place. An this be true?

It was true the last time I checked.

You can either take the warranty out when the original warranty is still valid or pay for vehicle condition survey that tells them if any work needs doing before the new warranty can be applied.

Incidentally, regarding the servicing plan, I paid about £2K for three years 3.5 years ago and I got very similar quotes from 4 of my closest main dealers but it was Inchcape that threw in the MOT's as a part of the deal that made their offer the most attractive.

Yes, you’re right.

A quote for a LR warranty comes from here:

https://www.landrover.co.uk/ownership/warr...ranty.html

If you’re out of warranty the site says that you’ll need to speak to your dealer about a pre contract inspection and (I would image) any associated costs of putting any “pre-existing” right.

Called Land Rover, they referred me to a a local stealership, who quoted me £198-00 for 165 point inspection and then a further £1,105-00 per year for warranty, they wont/dont do anything over the 12 months at a time so its a kind of rolling contract but I'm not sure if this is expensive or not, I thought in the grander scheme of things its probably not too bad?

This sounds correct but be aware that with the warranty there are two levels with an option of Landrover Assistance that can be added to either. Rightly or wrongly I chose the higher level with assistance on the basis that one claim would cover the extra cost.

Ive just signed up with RAC so I would probably go with the warranty that doesnt have roadside cover.
Im just toying as to whether the price is good or not?

Not too bad a price, though like all warranties it’s getting them to pay out...... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thanks for this but Stratstones on-line quote is £802, Inchcape quoted me £730 on-line and £685 on the phone today. I'm just waiting for a quote from the JLR dealer in Gdansk, Poland, as I will be there for all of August. Car Care confirmed to me today that there would be no issues with my LR warranty if I have it serviced in Gdansk.
