Servicing CIVIC 5 YEAR SERVICE PACKAGE

BrianI · 4th June 2006, 12:46

I have seen some comments about a £500 5 year service package but I cannot find any reference to this on a Honda website. Has anyone taken this out or know where I can get this confirmed.

I got this as part of my deal. It's offered on all Petrol Civics.

You get it at the dealer, at the time of purchase. I wouldn't recommend financing it though.

btw - the services stay with the car, so you can "sell on" the service with the car.

Has anyone heard a reason why this is not offered on Diesels?

Also, does it cover the cost of replacement brake pads, fuids etc when required.

basegreen · 4th June 2006, 15:35

I doubt it includes replaceable parts, although in my case I might be okay for the first couple of bits and pieces

BrianI · 4th June 2006, 16:55

Thanks for your prompt response. Can you advise what is included and what is specifically excluded. I did hear that it also includes the costs of MOT's after the 3rd year. Is this correct?

Brian

basegreen · 4th June 2006, 17:32

Yes, I believe that it does include MOT costs from year 3-5.

I didn't manage to get a list of what was included and not included. I presume that anything like brakes and similar will be chargable still.

karlak · 4th June 2006, 17:57

Would still like to know why the diesel is excluded - It is the same mileage between services I believe.

If it does not include brake pads etc, then I think the wording is quite misleading.

It is not called a "labour only service package"

The VW equivalent includes all service parts, as does the BMW. Not sure that it is such a good deal if it is labour only. They will be loading it up with cost of oil, filters, washers, brake fluid etc - could get costly on top of your £500 outlay.

basegreen · 4th June 2006, 18:04

I assume it covers just about everything. Will double check. I think they're sold on an insurance basis, so someone takes the risk of how much is needed.

The labour only service costs add up to about £700 at current prices anyway, btw.

Oh I see, thanks.

basegreen · 4th June 2006, 18:42

I'll see if I can get a definitive answer.

BrianI · 4th June 2006, 18:45

I doubt if it would cover tyres for 62500miles

Brian

basegreen · 4th June 2006, 18:53

It won't cover tyres, obviously. I don't even think it covers brakes and discs.

karlak · 4th June 2006, 18:53

Tyres would definitely be a No.

Cheltenhamshire · 6th June 2006, 16:21

I thought it covered labour and standard parts required for the services, i.e oil and filters but exlucdes consumable parts like tyres and brake pads / discs.

However I am now going to go back and check...you guys have got me paranoid!

Cheltenhamshire · 7th June 2006, 08:04

Right, just checked...and yes oil, filters etc are included as is labour. So it is 62,500 miles of standard servicing for £500, a good deal.

I have the 5 year servicing deal on my 2.2 iCDTI. Hadn't seen anything that said it covered the diesel but just told the dealer I wanted the package when I ordered the car - and got it!

Glass Spider · 15th June 2006, 23:43

I took the offer of the 5 year servicing deal on my 2.2 iCDTI ES I’ve just ordered, so it is available on diesels

karlak · 16th June 2006, 07:37

I have been told by 2 seperate dealers that the diesel is NOT included in the 5 year service scheme. Did you get offered this or did you insist on it ?

basegreen · 16th June 2006, 08:21

I suspect the ones that are allowing it either use a different insurance scheme (unlikely), or are fiddling the system, by expensing a different non-covered service instead of the diesel.

I was offered it and thought that it would be best for my situation as i'm not used to having to pay for services etc what with being in a company car scheme at the moment. I got it through Lindhill in Chelmsford Essex
