Service plans are they worth it?

Hi

Asking for someone else, are service plans worth it on new cars? , in this case a Hyundai (hybrid), they come with 5 years warranty I believe. If they plan to service it at Hyundai for the time being, I presume a plan is the best?

Im also thinking it's best to service it at Hyundai while in the 5 year warranty.

It's simple maths.

How much is the service plan?

How much would it cost you to pay for servicing yourself over 5 years, allowing for inflation?

Is the plan cheaper? Get the plan. Is the plan not cheaper? Don't get the plan.

Yeah, not got prices yet, Im pretty sure it will work out cheaper, and its best to get serviced at Hyundai while in the 5 year warranty.

That's the bottom line. I'm on my third service plan because it's always saved me money.

The Mercedes one is great value as it includes all optional items, too. If you cancel before the full term because you sell the car, you get a pro-rata refund too.

I can only speak to my experience, but a Mercedes plan on a C and E class is worth it and saves a few hundred. A BMW plan on a 1 and 2 series is not worth it and saves nothing.

Inflation protection maybe

I had a service plan for 13 years on my Corsa (renewed it a few times) as the price was much cheaper than paying each year. I only didn't bother this year as I've got the EV as well so do most of my miles in that these days. Did get my local garage to do an oil and filter change though with the Dexos 2 oil I supplied.
