Affordable Servicing? SEAT Has It fixed!

Owning any SEAT should be as financially viable as it is fun, which is why the dynamic Spanish car maker has unveiled a new aftersales care package designed to give those with older models the same peace-of-mind and value-for-money as those with brand new cars.

Available now at Kendal SEAT’s state-of-the-art Kendal workshop, the new package, dubbed ‘It’s Fixed!’, offers the owner of any SEAT model between three and ten years old access to main dealer service, quality and expertise at ‘local garage’ prices.

The outstanding offer means a minor service now costs just £129 RRP, regardless of the SEAT model involved and including VAT, parts and labour while a major service is just £249 RRP and an MoT is only £39.

Kendal SEAT Aftersales Manager, Steve Campbell, said: ‘Owners of older cars can sometimes be wary of main dealer service and repair prices, but we want SEAT drivers to enjoy the highest levels of care, attention and affordability – no matter how old their vehicle.

‘So the idea behind ‘It’s Fixed!’ is simple – to make it as easy as possible for SEAT owners to know what their vehicle servicing costs will be up front so they can keep a tight rein on their motoring budget.’

To that end, Barcelona-based SEAT and Kendal SEAT is also offering fixed prices on a whole range of maintenance jobs for SEAT models aged between three and 10 years old – air conditioning service (£69), brake pad replacement (£99), cambelt change (£299) and even alloy wheel refurbishment (£59).

And Kendal SEAT is so confident its prices can’t be beaten, they promise to refund the difference to anyone who finds they could have had the same work done to the same standard more cheaply within seven days and five miles of the dealership.

In addition, SEAT has even created an annual budget planner – available now at www.SEAT.co.uk or in the Kendal SEAT showroom – to help drivers plan ahead by detailing recommended servicing intervals, predicting when key parts may need to be replaced and setting out the costs.

But still, why opt for a service at Kendal SEAT ahead of an independent garage? Well, for starters, the new ‘It’s Fixed!’ programme means the dealership promises truly great value. Whether it’s a minor or major service, they won’t charge extra for items such as pollen filters, spark plugs and fully synthetic oil – and they will even wash and vacuum the car for free.

Naturally, all parts and labour are covered by a two-year warranty, plus every minor and major service comes with a free 12 months of SEAT Roadside Assistance – including Home Start. This benefit alone is worth between £99 and £240, depending on the age of the vehicle.

And then there’s the reassurance of knowing that the vehicle is in safe hands – each service will be carried out by one of the dealership’s team of experienced SEAT-trained technicians with SEAT specialist equipment and SEAT-approved parts. Furthermore, a dealer promise ensures that no additional work will be carried out without approval. Plus, with every visit, the dealer will perform a free Vehicle Health Check and report back on what is uncovered, so owners know what requires urgent attention or simply needs to be budgeted for in the future.

Convenience is key, of course, so a handy ‘while-you-wait’ service* is available for many ‘It’s Fixed!’ jobs – provided they are booked in advance.

Sometimes, however, a while-you-wait service just isn’t practical. That’s when a SEAT loan car** comes in. Available by pre-booking and costing from just £12.50 – including insurance – a loan vehicle means owners of older SEATs can get on with their day while the dealer gets on with quickly and expertly fixing their vehicle.

The dealership can even provide a neat ‘collect and deliver’ or courtesy lift service***, driving the car owner to their destination after they have dropped off their vehicle.
