Service plan costs

[hrp123]

Just been quoted from Endeavour North London

Year 4 service - £430.61 (major)
Year 5 service - £289.61 (minor)
Year 6 service - £430.61 (major)

When I took out a plan for my older XC90 the prices were below at Watford

Year 4 - £420.77
Year 5 - £240
Year 6 - £325.50

Seems to have gone up. Anyone who is buying a new car would do well to buy the £599 new car plan.

Quick question for anyone who has an older Volvo

I've had two dealers in the Endeavour network tell me a cambelt replacement is recommended by Volvo at the earlier of 90K miles or 5 years, and 2 other dealers tell me it is 90K miles or 10 years.

The cambelt adds almost £500 to the cost of the 5th year service.

My 5 year old XC90 didn't have the cambelt replaced because the dealer had not put it in the service plan... seems to be down to the dealer?

Just had my 3rd service today, the cost would have been £331,33 but I bought the £599 service with the car when new, so I'm around £300 in pocket and still another 2 service's to go, plus includes breakdown recovery.
What's not to like !

Yup, due my first service around Christmas, thank goodness for the £599 plan!!

I’ve come from Audi and the servicing costs are much cheaper with Audi by comparison. And they’re every 2 years!🤮

First service with Audi was £149 at the 2 year point and the last one prior to chopping it was 320. Anybody used a non Volvo franchised garage?

The revised Cambelt change is 90,000 MILES or 10 years which ever comes first .

Not Good ,There must be a lot of cases of brakes wearing down to the metal then , a technician cant foresee if the pads are going to last TWO years into the future.... Same with tyres , people don't check them these days and you can easily wear a set out in 20,000 miles now ... Also oil level could e a problem

what is the service mileage interval ?

[smickers]

2 years or 18000 miles, whichever comes first. A lot of manufacturers have two intervals and the oil is a long life derivative. My oil meter was about half way down just before its service.

When I chopped the Audi in at 39k miles the only thing I’d replaced was rubber. The pads and discs were still fine.

I thought the XC90 belts change is now 8 years. Can't recall the mileage but 120k seems to stick in my mind.
