Servicing Honda Happiness

Moose · 22nd March 2008, 13:03

As anybody managed to buy a Honda Happiness Service Package?

This week i've tried at two different Honda dealers, and to Honda direct to buy the above mentioned package for my 2.2 EX, You would of thought that they would of been eager and open handed to except my £850.

Dimplyred · 22nd March 2008, 13:15

Why wouldn't the dealers help you??

FWH · 22nd March 2008, 13:21

Several members here have signed up for it.
(I have not as that option is not available here).

Try one of our on-line dealers.

I`ve had no problem so why could`nt you, as long as your car is no older than 8 months then where is the problem

One was more bothered about selling there own package. And the other had never sold one before and was struggling to set it up on the computer, so they contacted Honda to talk them through the procedure. even with Hondas help they couldn't make it work! So now £850 burning hole a hole in my pocket!!

If I was you I would just ring the other Honda Dealers as you have quite a lot listed for your part of the country as you 2 local ones appear brain dead
Good Luck

richy_ctr · 22nd March 2008, 19:29

I've opted for the Honda Happiness scheme with my new type r.

Cost me £500

Good deal really when on average the service cost £160 - £200

Wear and tear parts aren't covered such as wipers etc though.

jorelph · 22nd March 2008, 19:31

no problems my end - even had reminder sent when 8 months was nearly up!!
saying that they just took my money and said details would follow - low and behold all relevant paperwok turned up week later
if main dealer dont see what should be problem

angie4m · 22nd March 2008, 19:47

Well thats correct that they don't offer it. There is no Honda Happiness from Honda for the Diesel. The Honda Happiness package is for the Petrol models and costs £500. Some dealers offer a package at £850 for the Diesel but THEY are Subsidising it themselves! Honda subsidise the dealers with the £500 package for the petrol!

Its not a given that your entitled to it. Some dealer offer it and some don't. The servicing on the 2.2 to the 1.4, 1.8 & 2.0 is quite a bit more.

Sorry but thats the way it is

Thanks TC! Now Moose has to establish if his dealer is a Honda Happiness participating dealer. Can see no reason not to be, but you never know

FWH · 23rd March 2008, 06:45
