Vehicle Service Plans

Vehicle Service Plans

Firstly, here are three great reasons why you should be talking to Underwoods about a Service Plan:

1. Inflation proof pricing

Your plan will be at an agreed price which will not raise with inflation, as automotive parts and labour pricing can be affected over time.

2. No payment panic

No more waiting and worrying what the bill will be. You've already got it covered!

3. Spread the cost

Pay over time just like your other bills such as mobile phone and amenities. By paying small instalments you will hardly notice them.

Car Service Plans

The Underwoods Service Plan has been specifically designed to bring 'worry free' motoring to our customers. Just tell us the last time you had your vehicle serviced, your estimated annual mileage and the length of time you would like the plan to run. As a guide you can pay from as little as £27.00 per month, and will no longer have any scheduled servicing bills to pay. Also you can be reassured that our plan is 'inflation proof' and will not increase in price over the agreed period.

New or Used Car?
The plan is available for all makes and models within our franchised manufacturers, new or used, whether you have purchased your vehicle from us or elsewhere.

Ways to Pay
Depending on what suits you best, we can organise a monthly direct debit to spread the cost just like any other essential services and products. Alternatively, you may favour paying the amount in full up front.

What does it cover?
The Underwoods Service Plan covers all routine maintenance as described in the vehicle's handbook, with the peace of mind that your car is being looked after by trained technicians, using only genuine parts.... not to mention the benefits of joining.

Yes. You can set up a service plan at any time, regardless of when or how you bought your vehicle.

Yes, you can set up a plan at any time of the year. When creating your quote, you may see your first few payments are for a higher amount. This just ensures your plan has enough funds to cover your next service.

The Service Plan ensures the cost element is taken care of. You’ll need to arrange your service with Underwoods when it’s due.

Underwoods have service centres in Clacton & Tiptree in Essex and Sudbury in Suffolk.

You can book online with Underwoods or contact your local Underwoods click here, letting them know you have a Service Plan. When you’re at Underwoods, please show them a copy of your welcome letter or email. They’ll complete the scheduled service and claim the funds directly from us.

Your next scheduled service may now be sooner than originally anticipated and may mean your plan doesn’t contain sufficient funds to cover the next service. If your mileage does increase, our plan administrators, EMaC, will be able to advise you and take a top-up payment directly if necessary.

You can pay by Direct Debit each month. When you create your bespoke quote, you’ll be shown the monthly amounts and duration of the Direct Debit.

This is because your next service is due within 11 months or less. It ensures there are sufficient funds in your plan to cover that service.

Yes, please contact our Service Plan administrators, EMaC, who can update the Direct Debit payment date on your behalf.

Our Service Plan administrators, EMaC, will contact you to understand why it was missed and help you to set this back up. It may mean you pay a slightly higher monthly amount because you will be paying over a shorter period of time, but the total plan cost won’t change.

Yes, you can cancel your plan at any time by contacting our Service Plan administrators, EMaC. You’ll receive a refund excluding any services you’ve claimed for and any applicable management fees. Any refund will be paid into the account originally used to pay for the Service Plan.

If you sell your vehicle, you have three options with your Service Plan:

  • Transfer it to a new vehicle.
  • Cancel the plan and receive a refund, as described above.
  • Please contact our Service Plan administrators, EMaC, who will be able to do this for you.
