Hi,
Just having read the previous posts plus honda service plans I would make the following comments, first, the £140 service is a lot of money for an oil and filter and a quick look round, for an extra £100 you can have the air filter, brake fluid and pollen filter not a bargain in my opinion. nowhere does it mention changing spark plugs. my local garage will do a full service for about £150 including plugs. any comments anyone? I bought the car secondhand from a honda dealer and have 2 years warranty, I am happy with the car but not the standard of servicing,
Chris

The iridium plugs with which the car comes cost around £52 to replace. They are recommended to be replaced at 75k miles. The price you have been quoted is not for iridium plugs.

Once my car is 5 years old next year I will diy... as I do with our 13 year old |Yaris...for 10 years..

Cabin filter and air filter are the two easiest diy jobs on a Jazz for £10 > £15 each. Once you've left the official Honda service plan then a pragmatic approach of a garage for the oils & fluids (plus stamp), and your own labour to supplement this seems a sensible route to take.

If you can inspect a sample plug first then you can make an informed choice as to their replacement.

When I bought our 2010 EX Ishift two years ago, it came with 2yrs servicing, 2 yrs warranty, 2yrs Honda care and free MOT. This has just expired so I emailed the dealer asking if there were any service plans etc available.
Answer: a big fat zilch.
So whatever the charges and I wasn't too happy about the servicing it will be going to my local garage for whatever I can't do.
