Howdy,
Left this a bit late to ask as it’s going in tomorrow, but nothing ventured nothing gained. 2018 registered (2017 model) 1.3 (or 1.4?) manual 6 speed on contract hire. Honda Contract Hire have confirmed that an independent may service it provided it’s vat registered and they use genuine Honda parts and fluids.
Main dealer wanted £210 to £225 for annual service. Local independent with an excellent reputation will do it for much less although I don’t have a confirmed quote yet (will get it in the morning but I know it will be very reasonable).
Anyhoo, indy said just needs oil and filter and a check over. I found myself in the unusual position of looking for more for him to do. Can’t find in the manual or online a list of what is actually checked on a 1st 12 month service. The manual lists what is necessary for extreme conditions where the car doesn’t come with a service book (v hot, v cold, v dusty, etc) but doesn’t appear to list what is checked for ‘normal’ (albeit low mileage) driving.
Manual also lists what is needed for variable servicing which seems pointless when presumably the onboard computer will tell you, but there we are. This car deffo doesn’t have variable servicing.
Anyone able to fill me in / point me in the right direction?
