• • What is a Service Plan? – Servicing spend can be unpredictable, as labour and parts costs increase year on year, and an unexpected fault through wear and tear can result in a much larger bill than anticipated. That is where a Service Plan can help drivers spread the cost and budget for essential servicing.
  • Who should take out a Service Plan? – Service Plans benefit customers with almost any type of vehicle, but they are particularly beneficial to those with premium vehicles that are often costly to maintain, with servicing regularly incurring larger bills.
  • What are the benefits of a Service Plan? – There are several reasons for dealers to offer customers a Service Plan with their new or used vehicle. One is to help improve customer retention, through return trips to the dealership for their annual service, but also for when the time comes to buy another car in future.
