Default Ordered A7 facelift

just received my production date for new a7 MY 2015 facelift (UK) , week 45, can anyone advise if the service plan is worth purchasing up front as well as the gap and SMART (dings and dents) insurance? Quoted £399 for gap 3 years, £399 for SMART 3 years.

Ask the dealership how much they charge for performing the scheduled maintenance services that are covered by the plan and do your comparison. In Canada where I am, the service plan saves me about 50%.

That would be far too easy for a lazy guy like me. Appreciate the comparison, i would assume the relationship would be roughly the same between canada and the UK.

In the US, you can buy the reduced service anytime up until the first service is due at (US) 15,000 miles (same with Mercedes). I will buy the service, just waiting until the last minute to give them my cash. You never know...

Thank you that is good to know....... In respect to the smart and gap insurance the dealer has shown 399 pounds each for three years, has anyone in the uk seen any better from dealer or other provider?
