Just leased a 2019 Jetta. Is it worth pre-paying for Volkswagen Care?

We just leased a 2019 Jetta for 10k/39 mo. The dealer is offering Volkswagen Care which covers

• Prepaid maintenance to match factory service intervals
  
• Includes oil changes, filters, fluid, tire checks & more
  

The initial cost was $615, but they brought it down to $415.

It looks like the 2019 Jetta only needs servicing at 10k and 20k and then again at 30k which we may not even reach.

Is this worth purchasing? If you look at the VW Service Schedule, the factory required maintenance seems pretty basic. I'm surprised that tire balancing and rotation is considered optional at each of the service intervals.

I spent about $200 to get my Jetta serviced. Given how few miles I drove, I did the service based on time, not mileage.

I'd pass on the pre-paid maintenance.
