My GT Sport is coming up to 4 years old (and 25000 miles) and so I have just had a call from my supplying dealer asking me to book in the 4 year service ...... at a cost of over £2900. Now this seems excessive to me (especially as best I can tell the, the only difference between 2 years and 4 years is the carbon canister and lambda sensors) but I have a Maserati warranty until March 2022.
So, some questions:
* Maserati warranty is widely slated on here but I have it and it provides some piece of mind. Does anyone know if it is a condition of the warranty that I have it serviced by a Maserati MD. I'm guessing that even though an independent would do as good a job, it would be the excuse needed by Maserati not to honour any claim?
* Do the carbon canister and lambda sensors actually need changing?
* I'm looking at having CarPlay fitted which will invariably be enough to invalidate the warranty so where's the harm in having a 2 year service done by an independent, pocketing £2000 and putting towards anything that goes wrong within the remainder of the warranty period?
* Or am I being tight?
