AFY went in for its first service last week. I somehow ended up not buying the 3 year service plan with the car although I had intended to do so. So I got a quote from the dealer that I bought the car from which seemed quite reasonable, and they offered a "while you wait" service which I thought should save me the trouble of getting a lift there or anything...
...I should probably have asked how long it would take though as it was almost 3 hours. Still, I had my book with me.
The car has a couple of issues - firstly one of the rear shock absorbers has a leak. This is minor and can apparently be fixed under warrenty later so no big shakes.
As I said in my last post, I've curbed my alloys, but it turns out it's worse than that as it seems that 2 of the wheels (the offsides) are buckled. I think I can guess where that happened but I think that means expensive replacements at some point quite soon.
The other problems that I reported was with the Headlight alignment and the Bluetooth phone unit. The headlights have not been right from new and the dealer confirms that they were set well too low and has adjusted them. The Bluetooth Unit was apparently broken, and has now been replaced, at no cost. Nice to have that working properly again.
I did get offered a 2 year service deal when I came to pay - not as good as the three year original would have been but It'll save me a couple of hundred pounds next year.
