>>£550. It seemed OTT to me and I checked a manufacturer's specification (preserves the warranty) service with my local Halford's (I have used them for over 5 yrs and my local one IS good)and it comes out to £351
You have no idea what will happen to the prices from Halfords or anybody else. You have no idea who will buy them, whether management or quality will change, etc. etc.
I'd think that a manufacturer's service will keep your software up-to-date and make warranty claims easier to deal with, should they happen, and they will reflect in a resale value.
All in all, £70 a year seems like a false, and very small, economy to me.
