Servicing

[5OPHY]

Hello everyone,

I know it is a little early to be thinking about servicing our new cars but has anyone taken out a service plan with their dealer?

Thank you in advance,

Sophie

I haven't but I see Mazda offer a 3 year servicing deal where it can be purchased fully up front as well as a dealer service plan where you pay monthly, I need to have a look and see what they cost Vs the benefits.

Yes - I have been quoted by the dealer that I purchased the car from and was a bit taken a back by the price. I am hoping to do some research in other Mazda dealers but it would be good to know other peoples experiences

Hi Sophy,

When I ordered my car the dealer still didn't know the servicing costs. Mazda seemed a bit slow with this and with details about accessories for the CX-3 for several weeks after the launch of the car.

I finally managed to get some quotes for servicing costs, and they don't come cheap !

Here are the prices I was given for a 2 litre petrol 2WD SE-L :

1st service/12 month = £178.30

2nd service/24 month = £304.54

3rd service/ 36 month = £217.21

3 year service plan = £549

You do get the option to pay the 3 year plan as a one off payment or as a monthly direct debit.

I would have preferred a 2 year servicing plan, but Mazda doesn't offer that option.

I really like my CX-3, which wasn't cheap to start off with, but Mazda certainly know how to squeeze the dosh out of their customers with the costs of their servicing and accessory prices !

Any local VAT registered garage can do it and legally uphold the warranty if you have any reservations about what might get done for all that money.
