Starting a new thread since I couldn't find one that was just on the Maintenance Plan (vs Warranty plan).
I was just talking to my dealer and they have a "42,000 miles, 7 Service visits" plan for $989. I questioned it being limited to 7 visits if you have the oil changed every 6 months. He said you shouldn't get the oil changed until the car tells you to do so. Depending on how you drive, you may go another 5,000 (total 11,000 miles) before needing it changed.
I said that the Subaru manual says every 6,000 miles (6 months ?) and that the plan says you have to have proof of scheduled maintenance. So, if I waited for the car to tell me I needed one and it was at - say 9 months, the plan wouldn't cover it because I didn't do at 6 months.
He said no, they look at the computer and so long as you do it when the computer says so, that's considered "scheduled" maintenance.
Any thoughts/feedback?
