Hi all, looking for opinions from people who use the Hyundai service plans.

Are they a good deal?

What exactly is included?

I'm currently looking at taking out either a three or a four year service plan. For me three years would be £727 and four years would be £1200 ish, (including MOTs).

Just looked on the Hyundai website at the service plans and its a bit ambiguous about what exactly is covered, the T&C's mention "meeting the service costs" (I know this includes both parts and labour).

But, does that mean just scheduled service items or does it include anything extra that may come up, eg: say if the cam chain needs adjusting, or if an item is identified as having a fault or requiring a repair is noted during a service or similar things?

Are the people that have these plans happy with them, or have they had any issues?

Many thanx for any feedback you can provide, cheers.

Hi 100% worth it you save money and it's also transferable should you sell the car.

I bought 6 services and 3 MOT's when i bought my Tuscon new, never had to pay for anything and just drop the car off and pick it up. You have to have them serviced at the correct times i.e. 10K or yearly and I did the first 10K in 8 months and then had second one done around 9 months later (if you work out home many mls roughly you will do help decide on how many to buy) you can cross check costs with dealer they will give you the prices.
All the costs are covered for the standard servicing things like battery key fob changes aren't and air con service plus the obvious like disk and pads wear and tear items .

I've just taken out my second three year service plan whch also includes 3 MOT's.  In my opinion, it's well worth the money.  Means the cost of scheduled services are fixed for three years and therefore not subject to price increases.  Also the same for the MOT's.

Should items require attention that aren't included in a normal service, such as brake pads, brake discs, worn track rod ends, etc, YES there will be additional costs.  Filters and fluids will be covered in the service plan.  Also you get the benefit of the breakdown cover by having the car serviced under the Hyundai Essentials Service plan.  Home start, Roadside assistance, Recovery to a garage within 10 miles of the breakdown.

One potential drawback is paying up front to get the best price.  Can make a dent in your finances if you're not prepared for it.  Yes you can pay by monthly instalments but as with most instalment plans, there is an additional cost.
