Fixed Pice Servicing - is it a con?

I assume you're expecting reactions to this...? 

The annual service is the only time my car gets washed!

Not particularly. I sometimes wash the windows but I leave the rain to do the rest. I live in an apartment block and the lease forbids car-washing. I can’t see the dirt from inside the car!

I have a "similar" approach to outer cleanliness - on the inside, I'm quite a neat freak!
As I'm living in eastern Switzerland with quite heavily salted roads during winter, I frequently "Kärcher" the underbelly of my car(s) to get rid of the salt - you have yet to show me a car that started to rust through on the roof ("Lancia Sud" officially excluded!).
As for regular car washes: I was complimented on my previous car's paint coat condition (after six years of similar "negligence") - so, go figure.

We seem to have digressed again folks! I’m waiting for a response from HME about this anomalous service pricing.
