Volkswagen is now offering a fixed-price service plan on all of its new models.

The scheme is running until the end of this year and is priced from £250 which covers servicing needs for the next three years or 30,000 miles.

The scheme will help to keep customers within the franchise dealer network and if the vehicle is sold on within the three year/30,000 mile period, the remainder can be transferred to subsequent owners.

The £250 service plan can be purchased up to 90 days after the first registration date of the vehicle or, alternatively, it can be incorporated into selected Volkswagen Finance plans.

The fixed-price service plan is based on the time and distance service schedule and comprises a maximum of an oil service at 12 months / 10,000 miles; an interval service including oil change at 24 months / 20,000 miles; and an inspection service including oil and brake fluid change at 36 months / 30,000 miles.

At the same intervals, all Fox and Beetle models receive an oil service, inspection service including oil and brake fluid change and a final oil service.

A fixed-price servicing plan is also available for buyers of used vehicles and existing Volkswagen customers for a one-off payment of £299 under a separate plan.

Both fixed-price servicing plans apply to routine servicing based on the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule and exclude maintenance and other items.
