I have just taken delivery of my new QQ and was interested in a possible service plan. So I rang my local Nissan dealer, which isn't where I got the car from, and they gave me a quote for a 3 year service plan.
This plan is made up of:
Year 1 - Minor service
Year 2 - Major service
Year 3 - Minor service and MOT
Total £706 over 3 years, paying monthly.
However, if I were to just pay for those services in cash when due they would be £199 for the minor and £269 for the major, with an additional £54 for the MOT.
Overall, the service plan only saves me £15 over 3 years and also ties me into a monthly payment. I can only imagine if I miss a month then it'll cancel the plan or delay it.
So my questions are:
Why would I bother with a monthly plan?
Why isn't a service plan offered at a much more competitive, alluring rate?
If anyone can offer any insight or their experience that would be appreciated as I am not seeing the point.

My thoughts exactly, that's why I did not take up Nissan's offer.

When I bought my Qashqai at 8 months old I was offered a two-year service plan, but the saving was only £3. I said "Why buy?" - they said "Price increases". Then Nissan went and upped the cost of a minor service by £40 by adding in the pollen filter !!!!! Very annoying.
However Nissan servicing is still cheaper than Suzuki servicing...
