Free service?

Has anyone gotten free services from the dealer you got your TL from?

I got 5 free services from my dealer. On the service certificate it says "service interval: 7,500Miles" and "service number: 01" and 02, 03 for the 2nd and 3rd service and so on.
The services provided are oil and filter change, lubrication of key chassis parts, and 19-point inspection.
Can I only bring my TL for the A1 service when she tells me to or would I have to wait till 7,500miles to be able to get the free service?

I was told I got free oil changes up to 100k miles but I never saw anything in writing on that.

If it says 7,500 interval, I would interpret that as having to wait 7,500 miles between servicings. If your MID indicates a change at lesser miles, you should get the service done then.

To get the answer to your question that only the dealer can provide, contact your dealer.

I called up my dealer and the service advisor told me that it doesn't go by the miles, it goes by when the TL tells you. All good.

I forgot to tell mine not to wash the car and I was awarded with a brushed wash at the local Shell station. No shit!
