Hi All.


I am a newbie here, so just trying to find my way. My wife owns a 2013 vauxhall corsa bought second hand, however the warning is coming up that it needs a first service.

I phoned up the local vauxhall dealer and the prices i am being quoted is somewhat shocking, the car was registered in Feb 2013 and I was under the impression that the warranty also covers service, and apparently it doesnt.

I would like to know whether there are any schemes that I can leverage, where you pay a specific amount and you have servicing for a period of time etc.

Or is is just better that i visit an independent mechanic.

I look forward to hearing from you all.

Welcome to the Forum.

You need to be a bit careful here, as you could easily void your warranty.
After many years where you HAD to get the servicing done by a dealership (for most makes, that is) it is now possible to have the servicing carried out by other people.
However, it would pay you to locate a trusted garage, preferably a Vauxhall Specialist (These have normally been trained at a dealership and are up to date with the latest models)
Avoid the 'back yard' people who are unable to stamp your service record book.

Regards

To be honest,if it were me I would shop around and source a good reliable independent garage.I think you will get a far better service and most likely save yourself some money in the long run.
