Service Items Worth Doing - And Carplan Extended Warranty?
Discussion
Car is in for a service...
1. Noticed fuel cap doesnt always open first touch, takes 3-4 presses of the button. Aston say the cable is ceased or broken on it, £115 to fix, They doubt its covered under extended warranty - surely it would be?!
2. Air Con Service... Recommended every 2 years, ~£100, worth doing? My Air con works fine...
3. Tracking is 3mm out apparently, £100 to do the tracking, seems steep??

Sounds like your dealer doesn't know the true meanning of the word service.
1. Insist it is covered by warranty
2. Recommended by whom and why? Probably only recommended by AM so their dealers can make more money. As long as you have used the air con regularly and its working OK at the moment I wouldn't bother plus most small garages will carry this out for you.
3.Similarly any reputable tyre supplier wiil do the tracking for you at a fraction of the price. I would get this done soon though as you can very quickly wear the inside edge of a tyre out without noticing,

Well my tyres have hardly warn and are wearing EXTREMELY well and evenly, also I just had an MOT done 3 weeks ago (Not at AM) and they did not flag up tracking as an issue at all...
Regarding the fuel cap thingy, my car is just out of manufacturer and into the aston extended warranty, which he says probably wont cover the fuel cable wearing or snapping, I have told him to put it to the warranty people (I am extending at £1099 at the same time!).

Nothing serious and mostly things I have had fixed in the past already... the odd squeek and rattle, handbrake adjusted as the light didnt always go off first time you take the handbrake off...
I made a thread several months ago on some warranty fixes I had done as I like to make sure anything that can be done has been done on my car
