Default Pre-Paid servicing?

We just took delivery of a new car yesterday (nothing exciting, Toyota Verso) and was offered 3 years servicing (3 services) by direct debit for £16/month.

Is that a good deal? That works out at about £190/service. I thought that is expensive, but haven't had my car serviced at a main dealer for years ...

Thanks,

Steve

That's rubbish.

I bought a brand new VW, and got 3 years servicing for £250.

Only £83.33 per service, based on 3 services in that time.

I paid £350 for 3 years servicing on my L200.

Bearing in mind the 2nd year service costs about £700 and years 1 & 3 are about £180 it's a good deal.
Yours seems pricy for a Toyota.

Yup sounds expensive to me too. Mini offer TLC for far less. But I guess as it's sorta financed then it makes more sense.

For an actual main dealer service Inc parts that's not too bad, but as pre paid it's not great.
