As part of 2021 Click Frenzy, Volkswagen are offered their 4Plus Care Plan at a heavy discount for the first 400 purchasers.
I just purchased a pack as it is way cheaper than any independent mechanic and covers me for 4 years of services.
Includes brake fluids and pollen filter changes which are always additional under their capped price model.
To give you an idea, I have a 2017 VW Polo and the pack covers 2 essential services and 2 major services for $790
Whilst the essential services are basically oil and filter changes, The major ones are a massive saving.
$790 over 4 years or $197.50 a year or every 15000KM is a bargain in my eyes.
Pros:
Increases re-sale value if you can convince the new buyer of the added value
Improves the possibility of VW head office approving goodwill repairs out of warranty
No independent will be cheaper over the 4 year period
Transferable to new owner if car sold
Way cheaper than their yearly capped priced servicing which goes up every year
Cons:
If you write off your car or sell it, It is non-refundable
You could possibly save more money if you know how to service via the log-book yourself
I think it's really badly written. The markdown from $1155 to $867 might be the "Get 2 Essential Services free", and the 2 Essential Services Plus are still included - but it doesn't really say that.
I'm waiting on a call back to confirm.
