Since its launch in 1999, the ŠKODA FABIA has been one of the bestselling vehicles in its class. Even with the first generation, which was also presented as an estate in 2000, 1.79 million units were produced in approximately eight years, while the second generation unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2007 found a total of 1,704,000 buyers. The third generation, presented in 2014, continued the success story and, in 2019, was the second most delivered ŠKODA model after the OCTAVIA. Overall, more than 4.5 million FABIAs were produced to date – a figure that is only surpassed by the OCTAVIA.

As Days Get Shorter, Check your Car Lights And Wipers.

Your wipers keep excessive water, snow and dirt from building up on the windscreen, maintaining clear visibility.

Many factors can accelerate the replacement interval of wipers, including operating conditions (winter conditions are tough on wiper blades), frequency of use, material and type of wipers and believe it or not sunny weather.

Lights are normal wear items that require periodic inspection and replacement. Your lights provide night time visibility; signals and alerts for other drivers; and supplies light for viewing instruments and the vehicle’s interior. In addition to replacing dimming, rapidly blinking and non-functioning lights, the following tips can help keep you safe:

If there is any doubt on whether or not your headlights should be on, turn them on. Lights not only help you see better in early evening, they also make it easier for other drivers to see you.
Keep headlights, tail lights and Indicator lights clean. External dirt and muck can dim operational lights from being seen by others.
Make sure that your headlights are properly aligned. Misaligned headlights blind other drivers and reduce your ability to see the road.

Free MG Assistance!

In the unlikely event that anything should go wrong with your vehicle, your MG includes 12 months’ MG Assistance (in partnership with the AA) from the date it was first registered.  To give you reassurance and peace of mind, with every MG service you’ll receive a further 12 months’ MG Assistance, including Homestart, Roadside Assistance, Recovery and Onward Mobility cover.

DIGITAL SERVICE RECORDS

Most car owners are aware that a fully stamped service book is of great benefit in maximising the residual value of their car, when it comes to selling or trading it in. However, the traditional stamped service book is often 

lost or misplaced and so owners can find it difficult to prove their vehicle’s service history. With that in mind, MG will now log each service visit online, in a secure and central place. This means that the service history of any MG will be able to be accessed by any MG dealer, so if you call in at another dealer, they can automatically look up the service history to help make your experience smoother and simpler. You’ll also be able to request a copy of your vehicle’s service history at any time.

Our MG support doesn’t end there. We also offer a wide range of additional services to help make your ownership experience both fun and hassle-free, including:

INSURANCE

MG Insurance offers comprehensive car insurance designed for MG drivers. Most other insurers won’t guarantee to repair your vehicle at an MG approved accident repair centre,  or return it back to its pre-accident condition with all safety features reinstated by fitting factory-authorised parts. We ensure your  MG stays 100% MG.

SERVICE PLANS

An MG Service Plan is a convenient,  inflation-proof way to spread the cost of servicing with affordable monthly payments. Servicing is performed by certified technicians who always use factory-authorised parts. We’ll also send timely service reminders so you can relax and focus on the important things in life.

What is a Service Plan?

A Service Plan allows customers to spread the cost of their servicing over a number of years, by paying a monthly direct debit. You can also pre-pay for your MG Service Plan in full, should you wish to do so.

What are the benefits?

• Convenience of fixed, small, manageable monthly payments
• Inflation proof servicing for the duration of the plan - pay for tomorrow’s maintenance at today’s prices
• Removes large bills - The cost of the package eliminates maintenance budgeting worries
• The work is always performed by certified technicians
• Follows manufacturers servicing schedule
• Timely service reminders can be sent via e-mail or text to handheld devices*
• Only factory-authorised parts and fluids are used
• No cancellation, or plan transfer, fees.

What are my options?

Our standard service plan covers our standard schedule service regime, set at 15,000 miles/12 months, giving you the option for peace of mind maintenance for up to 5 year/75,000 miles. 

However, for any new car registered from January 2021 (or vehicles less than a year old and under 10,000 miles before the first scheduled service), you have an additional option.  Our new Low Mileage Service Plan is capped at 10,000 miles per year and is aimed at customers who annually complete less than 10,000 miles. this therefore reduces the need to replace some components, which may not have deteriorated with mileage and can go to their anticipated age tollerance, and therefore makes the plan much more cost effective.

What is included?

An MG Service Plan covers the replacement cost of all scheduled parts, including the labour cost.  Any items which at the time of servicing, ywhich we advise for replacement outside of the scheduled service items (e.g. brakes, tyres, wiper blades etc.) will be at an additional cost.
