General Free servicing for new 500s and Punto Evos?

[Zakt]

I've just noticed this on the Fiat UK website:

http://www.fiat.co.uk/Content/?id=21499

To quote, it states:

"The FEEL3 plan allows customers to drive their car with complete peace of mind for 3 years or 27,000 miles. FEEL3 will allow low mileage customers to ensure that vehicle longevity, fuel economy, environmental emissions and performance are optimised, thus providing you with the reassurance that your car will be checked annually by Fiat trained technicians who will use original Fiat parts.
Feel3 is currently available FREE for all new Fiat Punto Evo or Fiat 500 customers..."

Am I missing something? I can see it only covers you for 27,000 miles, but is there a catch???

Just found that this doesn't cover cars bought under scrappage:

"This offer is applicable to retail sales only and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer, including the Government Scrappage scheme. Click here to read all FEEL3 plan terms and conditions."

That'd be alright if you were doing low miles.

I've read it all, any idea how you apply for it?

Speak to your local dealer about the FEEL3 Service Plan, they will be more than happy to help. Find your nearest dealer using the Fiat dealer locator.

I hope this helps.

From people who have paid for services, how much is this worth?

must be at least £500?, so a decent saving against all the increases.

I suspect this will be one new sales.

Gutted. This would have been good as I do low mileage. Might see if I can get it anyway but I reckon it'll be a no.

There really is no incentive/ reason for them to give it to someone who's already bought a car to be fair. But it will helpt them sell new cars.

 

[Sluggy]

Oh yeah, no reason at all for them to give it out. Obviously trying to lure more customers in as I guess the scrappage scheme will end soon, if it hasn't already? No idea as didn't use it.

I am sure you are right Maxi, but it doesn't make it clear, just gives a cut off date, so it is worth making a call. Not really expecting a yes, but at least I'll know for sure!

Am I missing something, because I can't see anything about it being free or in fact any mention of costs, and it's not clear whether it just applies to new cars or not.

It states:
"Feel3 is currently available FREE for all new Fiat Punto Evo or Fiat 500 customers..."

 

[Murano16v]

Yea got it now ( tired ) . It must be only be for new cars.

Fiat want their trained techs to work on the multiair and new 2cyl engines, hence free servicing. Scrappage is still going and will be for a while yet.

27,000 was found to be the 'average' mileage.

scrappage (2k) + 3 free services (around £700) makes the evo prices more attractive.

Do you have any idea when the twin is actually coming? And if so, can you say??

Yes, but if you go under scrappage you can't have the free services.

Of course you can ask but like I said it'll be for new owners only

Just spoke with the dealer and it's a promotion from Jan 1st onwards.

So I guess if you bought or recieved your car since then you qualify for it.
