Is it worth buying a service plan?
With most new cars you can buy a package of services to cover scheduled maintenance over the same duration as the finance agreement or warranty. These can be good value because the car is unlikely to need much extra costly work to keep it in tip-top condition. An All-in service plan helps ensure your car runs smoothly all year round. This means regular servicing, from routine checks to essential maintenance so you know it’s always safe and reliable.A Maintenance Plan is far more comprehensive. It includes everything a Service Plan covers, plus wear-and-tear parts, select repairs, and sometimes even roadside assistance. It’s designed to protect you from both predictable and unexpected expenses.A Service Plan covers the cost of scheduled services and the replacement of essential parts to help ensure the smooth day-to-day running of your car. The plan covers your car’s services for a certain period, or a specific number of kilometres travelled – whichever limit is reached first.For most cars, the recommended maintenance occurs every 30,000 miles that a car is driven. For everyone, getting from point A to point B, whether it is school, work, or home, is crucial to daily life.
Should I buy a service plan?
Car service plans can keep you more committed to car maintenance, especially if you’re prone to skipping a service here and there to save on time and money. The main benefits of choosing a car servicing plan include: Often better value for money than paying upfront. As a general rule, your car should have a minor service every 10,000-15,000 kilometres driven or every 12 months – whichever comes first. Major car services should occur every 30,000-45,000 kilometres driven.Getting your car serviced may be a hassle, but it can prolong the life of the vehicle and improve its efficiency or performance.If you delay a servicing for about 1000 km after reaching the recommended servicing point of every 15 000 km, or wait a few months after your 6-month mark, chances are that your car will be just fine, especially if you don’t use it often.
What are the drawbacks of service plans?
Some plans are more expensive than just paying for maintenance at a dealer. Ask what each service interval costs to get an idea of a plan’s true value. Aftermarket plans may have limitations on where the work can be done. Prepaid plans usually don’t cover replacing the brakes, tires, or wiper blades. If the prepaid plan is more than what you’d typically pay for routine maintenance, it may not be worth the money.
