l was trying to get the 2000 mile check done on our 2020 Jimny and it seems that it has to be done by the supplying dealer.
As l bought it privately the dealer is too far away.
l contacted my local Suzuki dealer and they bounced it off. Fortunately it's only a check over and l can do it myself.
I had mine done at two months. They had it well over an hour, but I had asked them to lower the dipped headlights, so maybe they hadn't had to do this before.
Just checked and "has to be done by the supplying dealer" is not true, but many Suzuki dealers are turning people away because they cannot be bothered.
As the 2000 mile check is "voluntary" the dealer can decide to turn you away but Suzuki has told them it is poor business practice. Suzuki say get the customer in, start a relationship, sell them some accessories and get they servicing business, it makes sense.
So you have a poor dealer who clearly doesnt want any downstream business from you.

Oh dear, bought mine from East Anglia and really don;t want to go back there for the 2000 mile check. Guess I'll be seeing which dealers in Berks or North Hants want my business going forward then.
Good idea, but once it's out of warranty it won't see a dealer as it's an easy vehicle to service and l will do it myself.
l used to pay £250-400 every year to get the Defender serviced until l realised that l could get a full
service kit of genuine Land Rover parts for £85 and do it myself in a morning.
The Jimny is like the Defender in that it's easy to get to everything and needs no special tools to service it.
