LR Approved Service plan or not?

I’m weighing up whether this is likely to be worth buying. Cost for 5 years for 3.0d SDV6 is £725 but I’ll only have the car from brand new for 3 years / 30k miles so will probably only need 2 services, or maybe 3 depending on when it falls. I can’t find the cost of “pay as you go” services with a dealer, but if I could pay for 2, or maybe 3 services for about £700 then the service plan isn’t worth it. My dealer said “they’re about £500 each” but is that about right or was it a plucked-from-the-air figure to encourage me to take out the plan? Any guidance on costs would be welcome

Hi,
thing its more like #700 per service, dont forget the service plan does add value to the car (if you sell pvt that is)
also includes DEF top ups

Hi,

YES for four reasons:-

1. Based on service prices for my last sport - it’s a bargain.
2. Free top ups of ALL fluids if required.
3. Interim oil changes included. MY18 & MY 19 vehicles don’t fall under “goodwill” so oil changes are chargeable.
4. I “sold” the remainder of my 16MY plan back to my dealer when I did the MY 19 deal.

Oh yes and as Scrumps says you sell it on to the next owner as it lives with the car after you sell it, up to the end of the contract. When I sold my car to the Mini dealer their in house LR franchise made a point of asking if the car had a service plan and I had two services remaining on it. Doesn’t mean to say that they told the person that purchased the car as an approved used vehicle though......... and it wouldn’t have helped with the car having a change of plate when I took my private plate off it as the car was first registered with my private plate...... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Fuji White

When I bought my SC I only found out it had 2 services remaining is because I found the previous owner on Facebook & he mentioned it to me,when I called the dealer who I purchased it from he wasn't happy because he said their admin should have checked that out & if they knew it had services remaining it would have been more money,,,,unlucky LR & im now about £1000-£1200 beter off,the last service I took it in for was the big one with the fluid changes. Andy.

Doesn't apply to OP but just remember that there is also a 60k mileage limit – it never registered with me even though I knew I'd be doing a lot of miles. After its fourth service it was a real shock when they wouldn't give me my car back until I got my credit card out and especially annoying as the mileage was approx 62k (though service centre did say they would have taken it at 59,999 if I'd known about it).

But even with only three services included the plan was a huge saving.

If the car is new you should get the 5 year service pack thrown in with the deal. I have not paid for service packs on 2 x Evoques and 2 x RRS. They were always included as, good will, JLR incentive, dealer incentive whatever. 2018 MY19 HSE Dynamic, Santorini, Ebony/Ivory, Sliding pano, Adaptive cruise, Black wheels.

I’ve got mine through a private lease so much less scope for that sort of thing. There was only a very little negotiating on the lease costs, no trade-in or scope for pushing for other “freebies” and I didn’t even deal with the local dealer until the car arrived. Still, as I wouldn’t be keeping a RRS after its warranty expires, the up side is the lease is cheaper than a PCP and still protects me against the risk of tumbling resale values of diesel vehicles over the next 3 years!

Hi again,
not 100% sure of this as not been back to the Build Your Car section
but
ISTR that the diesel service plan was only for 2 services or ??? miles and it was the petrol engine models that had 5 services, as said it was some weeks back when I was looking so Question Question Question

Cheapest plan out of warranty is "do it Yourself". I am well pleased with service cost in Australia only 250 pounds per service so far. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.
