Just give it back a week early and save yourself £360...

Is that normally allowed on leases? My current lease includes maintenance so not an issue for me but a good consideration for my next one

if thats right I will hand my GTD back a coupe of weeks early.

Read the last few paragraphs and it'll depend on how many miles you do.

Thats the Diesel, been told the petrol is every 12 months ?

Obviously you will have to check with whoever provides the car, but I was told by VWFS that if the car tells me "1 day to inspection", I can hand it back and not pay for a service. That's exactly what I'll be doing to save myself a few hundred pounds.

Snake,

Do you have an email address for Andy at Stoneacre?

I’ve done it on two of my VW leases, I’m making a broad assumption the t&c’s are the same, worth looking into to save some ££

Ah yes 12 months or 16000 miles.

£285 for a 1st service. Bloody Hell!!!!

When did servicing become so expensive.

Mad, because you can get a 5 year (5 service) package for £649

Will do, thanks

With my jaguar XE 2.0t prestige lease with jag contract hire via Lex (£179 per month) the terms state if you fail to service it there’s a charge of approx £360 from memory. Remembering thinking it might be worth taking the penalty !!

Been quoted from the local jag garage £285 @ 12 months
£360 @ 24 months

Which location is this for those prices?
I think the price varies massively, so might be worth shopping around.

I have asked Lex this question before about the 24 months service and they said you can give you car back a few says early to avoid having to pay to service it. Under the terms of the contract if you hand it back 1 day early and it isn't due or overdue a service, you are ok.

The penalty will be much more than that if you invalidate the warranty by not servicing at 12 months + 30days(or whatever grace they give).

£360 for an Audi 1st service, consider yourself lucky! (And that's a 1400cc 4cyl that takes about 4L of oil.... Criminal.)

£400 for 1st service on Evoque - should have taken maintenance

I managed to get this down to £270 at blackburn audi after calling pretty much every audi garage in the north west! A4 sport 1.4tsi 150.

it's not a condition that you have to have it serviced at main dealer, unless it specifies that on your agreement, and it generally doesn't AFAIK.

Does anybody have any experience with servicing at non-main dealerships on leases?

My A4 goes back second week of March and I've only done 5k miles so far (job situation changed but the car was so cheap I kept the lease). I can't find anything in the car menu system telling me when it needs servicing. Do you know if I'll need to get it serviced before the 2 year handback point with so few miles on it?
