Extended Maintenance

[PhilSeastrand]

Has anyone purchased the extra year of maintenance (extended maintenance)? If so, how much did you pay. If not, why not?

I have Warranty Gold/Direct, they were cheaper than the dealer.

This extended year of maintenace, I take it your taking about an extra year's waranty ?

Is this only available in the U.S.A. ?

[PhilSeastrand]

Actually I'm talking about the "prepaid maintenance". I think it was discussed in the warranty booklet. It may also be a US only feature. The default is 3-years, 36,000 miles of included scheduled maintenance with an option to extend it to 4 years, 50,000 miles. This is not the same thing as the warranty.

I think your talking about MINI TLC

In the UK it's 5 years/50,000 miles for £100.00

This gives you free servicing for the said period.

Or am I just being a thick Geordie B@$#@&d

The extened warranty should be available in the U.K soon apparently.
Probably abouts the same as a 3 series so maybe £300ish

MINIUSA owners lounge shows 4 year, 50,000 mile warranty with roadside assistance as standard. Full scheduled service for 3 years and six year, unlimited mile rust, corrosion warranty also included.

Log on to owners lounge and click My MINI then Warranty.

I do not think that we have TLC in Canada? The dealer never mentioned it when I bought the car.

Our Cinci dealer offered, actually pushed, the extended maintenance, and said it would cover the big 50,000 mile checkup which is $500. The cost for the maintenance plan is $371, but noone could tell us what is included in the big checkup other than an aditional oil change (which, BTW, is $120!!) We haven't decided yet whether to buy it. You have until 3 yrs/36,000 miles to purchase it.
No one offered an extended warranty.
