Car Service Plans are probably familiar to you, but can you tell me what they are and how they work? When you don’t know what it is, you might think it’s a luxury, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Read on if you want to spend a small amount of money every month (roughly R150) and have your car serviced in the future.
What is a Car Service Plan?
To begin with, let’s explain what exactly Car Service Plans are. Basically, it pays for the regular maintenance of your car. Generally, the parts of the service that these plans cover will be outlined by your car manufacturer, as most service providers adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The general elements covered are parts, fluids, and labor. A plan can be created over a certain period of time, or based on the number of kilometers driven. The elements stipulated for your car’s service will be covered every time, with no hassles.
There are, of course, limits to this: if you bring your car in pieces, your insurance will not cover it. Service plans do not cover major mechanical damage or electrical faults, but this is a standard rule. The mechanics would go out of business and the service centers would close if they fixed all mechanical and electrical damages during a service.
What are the benefits of a Car Service Plan?
If you’re thinking about getting a Service Plan, you’ve probably guessed there are several benefits.
Firstly, the biggest benefit is that there is no inflation risk to increase the cost of your services. If you don’t have a maintenance plan, your regular service will be more expensive since inflation will increase the price. You don’t have to worry about that with a service plan. Throughout your subscription to the plan, you will pay a set monthly amount. In the long run, you will save money this way. You can avoid inflation price increases by paying a little every month to ensure that your car is serviced. The benefits of professional car care include budgeting your expenses.
Second, you’re certain to see a return on your investment. For instance, when it comes to car insurance. Most car owners insure their vehicles against damage or accidents. There is no way to know if they will need insurance, but the risk of not having it is too great, so people are willing to part with money they may never see again. Car Service Plans let you know when your own car will require regular maintenance. With regular claims, you can be sure you will receive a return on your monthly payments, regardless of what you pay in premiums.
Third, and last, regular servicing will improve the performance of your car. Procrastination over service is something we have all done – putting it off until there is money available. During a period of time when your car is not serviced but is still in use, wear and tear have formed in the mechanics, which causes your car to degrade even faster. As a result of the wear and tear built up over time, the cost of repairing damages caused by the service can be exorbitant. You won’t have to worry about existing damage affecting the performance of your car if you get it serviced when it should be. As a result, your car will last longer and be easier to sell, as your service provider will provide a complete history of its service.
