Jag Service Pack pricing vs main dealers pricing

[munchie]

Hi my car is coming up to 3 years old soon with 10.5k on the clock. Looking at servicing costs (and some forum posts on here) the Jag service pack costs seem cheaper, sometimes by a few hundred quid, then the prices quoted by the main dealers for the same service (strastone, sytner, inchcape).

I don’t know of a local indie in Sheffield and the surrounding areas so having to revert to the main dealer (Wakefield or Nottingham, as Sheffield closed and Derby is still being sorted from the flood).

Has anyone else used the service packs or challenged the main dealers on pricing compared to the price on Jags service pack site? There’s also an afternoon tea incentive on with the Jag service pack too

Elite Performance in Derby is used by a number of people on here.

In terms of the service plan prices, some dealers are signed up to online service booking via Jaguar.co.uk. Which appears to follow the same pricing. My local one doesn't use this, but they thought the service plan was a good idea as they couldn't discount enough. Makes no difference when having the car serviced, other than i have to pay for the MOT.

I have taken mine here for the last 2 services. Also recently had MOT and rear brake pads done too.

Thanks for the replies both, the Sheffield Indy (being closer to me), seems the most pragmatic choice

There is also this place, though I have never used it.
I go to German Auto as it was recommended by a colleague's husband, who works next door at BMW

For my last service (144k) Sheffield Prestige were only £40 cheaper than Inchcape Derby, so I stuck with the main dealer - this service included replacement of the supercharger and aux belts - £507 incl' VAT

Lucky you didn't go there last month. It could have cost a lot more

My car is also three years old in January with 10k miles. Did some research and spoke with the dealer I would use re the process. They explained that I just need to advise that the car is on a contract plan, they confirm and bill back to the JLR provider. The cost is cheaper than two dealers were quoting as a adhoc service request. So Just today signed up on line to a 3 year plan. I set my first ( cars 3rd) service for April as the second was completed late. I have the contract, the price is fixed and to pay in instalments adds £77 over the period. So total cost for years 3-4-5 is £1465. Thought it’s a no- brainer and I get a free cream tea. See schedule below, the first 3 payments are higher to ensure I have enough credit to cover the first service.

Payment Schedule
1 payment x £155.89 from January 2024
2 payments x £111.49 from February 2024
24 payments x £45.25 from April 2024

It is very tempting the problem I have though is the nearest dealer is now 26 miles away either North or South since the local dealer,Sheffield 9 miles away, closed..

I’ve also been looking at a service plan and it looks to save a couple of hundred over 3yrs

 

[munchie]

And that’s a fixed price too free from inflation.

 

[MikeM]

Fixed for the whole term chosen, you can use any JLR dealer. If you are happy with a particular dealer what’s not to like. Pity can’t get a similar deal on car insurance.

Ive just had a quote back from Hatfields Wakefield for the 3 year 48k mile service which is oil and transfer box oil change at £591 with Jaguar service pack its £374 - still waiting for an equivalent price from the Indy.

I bought a 3 yr service plan off Jag when I purchased my 2020 f-type. The first year was inc in the warranty and since then its been the service plan.

The plan cost £1637.00 inc management fee £45 and vat. The breakdown is as follows...Service 1/ 32,000 miles is £472. Service 2/48,000 miles £407 and service 3/64,000 miles is £712.

The thing is though, I have only put 20,000 miles on the car and yet I have just had the 64,000 service done, there seems to be no taking on board the actual mileage and just what does need doing.

The service invoice says that basically I have had oil and filters changed plus oil final drive changed. The most cost is the oil, Shell Helix Ultra, which was 7 ltr's at £15.99 a ltr. For this service they charged £682 (but on invoice it says a quoted price of £655)??? but I payed £712 up front with the plan.

So is it worth it? Well for the Jag warranty which I extended, I assume it must be serviced by Jag? Can you trust others to service a car like this?

My independent does what's necessary, which is not necessarily what Jaguar assumes given my low mileage. I trust him to keep my car in tip-top condition and not rip me off.

If you're in the UK, AIUI, so long as your car is serviced at a VAT-registered establishment, it won't have any affect on the warranty. I've had warranty work done which my independent refused to do because I had a warranty. Sometimes it's really hard to get him to take my money!

The Sheffield Indy came back with the price for the 3rd year 48k mile service

"The price for the Oil, oil filter and transfer box service would come to a total of £320 inc vat" - that includes a courtesy car and record updated digitally with Jaguar - using main dealer parts. The Jag price for that service under service pack is £330.

I'd go with Jaguar but as i said my nearest dealer now is 26 miles and the Indy is 9 - however there is a LR dealership 2 miles from me that will do it under the service pack.

Price below includes 3 years of MOT and the MOT cover for £750 of work that may be needed if it fails the MOT. the price looks very attractive and 0% apr to pay for fixed pricing. I'm not going to choose the MOT cover for me it isnt worth it.

5 Year service plan purchased back when the car was brand spankers.

Just bought 3 year plan...for such an expensive piece of kit, it just seems a no brainer to keep it stamped with JLR.
It wasn't the cheapest.

All depends on your dealer, due diligence is required!

why is the 4th year service so much more expensive than other years?

And, I've got a quote on service plan (for 4th year about £100 less than dealer quote, but what is the 3+ service?

Alternates between major and minor service, if you look back on thread you’ll see 6th year goes back up. Common with all.
